Thermal resistance
measurements have been made according to the most
recent test revisions using a calibrated hot box
operated in accordance with ASTM C 976. Analysis of
results was done in accordance in ASTM C 1224. The
R-values observed are highly dependent on method of
installation.
How Radiant Heat Transfers Through Roofs
 |
TempShield™
is used as insulation
against radiant heat transfer and can be used to
its greatest advantage in instances where
radiation is the predominant means of heat
transfer. It is the bright aluminum surface of
all TempShield™
products that gives it its insulating
properties. This happens in two ways:
TempShield™
is an excellent reflector of all long wave
radiant heat that strikes it - reflecting up to
97% of all radiant heat.
TempShield™ will reradiate only 3% of
heat in which it comes in close physical
contact, compared with the approximate 90%
reradiation of ordinary building materials, at
the same temperature.
