Testing Confirms Zenova Insulation Products Reduce Heat Build
Up
Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED) , a provider of innovative fire
safety and heat management technology and products, is pleased to
report that the results of a recent test confirmed the insulation
qualities of its Zenova IP thermal insulation paint and Zenova IR
thermal insulation render.
The test was carried out by a leading independent testing
company, Intertek, in accordance with testing standard ASTM D4803
to confirm how Zenova IP thermal insulation paint and Zenova IR
thermal insulation render reduces heat build-up on steel
surfaces.
In real world situations, heat build-up relates to the amount of
heat absorbed by a surface, which then increases the ambient air
temperature around the material and on the material's reverse side.
It is the reason why the temperature in uninsulated structures such
as shipping containers and modular buildings can rise considerably
when exposed to prolonged sunshine and hot external
temperatures.
The test, which was carried out in laboratory conditions, found
that:
-- A 1.33mm coating of Zenova IP thermal insulation paint
reduced the rise in ambient air temperature on the opposite side of
a steel sheet by 54% compared to an untreated control sample
-- A 5mm coating of Zenova IR thermal insulation render reduced
the rise in ambient air temperature on the opposite side of a steel
sheet by 55%, compared to an untreated control sample
The following is a summary of Intertek's finding:

Reached On Untreated Rise Above degC Temperature

Commenting on the results of the test, Tony Crawley, Chief
Executive of Zenova Group PLC said: " The results from this test
are hugely pleasing and reinforce the thermal insulation qualities
of Zenova's insulation render and paint.
"In simple terms, the steel sheets coated with Zenova IR thermal
insulation render and Zenova IP thermal insulation paint absorbed
and emitted far less heat on their uncoated side than the plain
steel sheet, with the ambient temperature around their uncoated
sides rising 54-55% less than on the plain steel sheet.
"In practical terms, these results confirm that Zenova IR
thermal insulation render and Zenova thermal insulation paint can
have a dramatic impact on reducing heat ingress and absorption, and
we believe there a numerous applications for them across multiple
sectors.
"For instance, in the refrigerated transport and cold chain
sector, reducing heat build-up on surfaces can dramatically reduce
the cooling load, which helps save energy, money and carbon
emissions. In the oil and gas sector, reducing the absorption of
heat into pipelines and infrastructure can reduce stress on
services, and increase the durability and resilience of systems.
And, in the construction sector, the reduction in heat absorption
and insulation benefits of Zenova's products has applications in
homes, commercial, industrial and modular buildings, where they can
help improve insulation, reduce cooling loads and generally improve
thermal comfort for occupants and residents.
"We believe that Zenova's transparent approach to testing, with
all test results published on our website, is important as it
builds awareness, understanding and trust in an innovative range of
products which, we believe, have an important role to play in
helping solve important issues surrounding insulation and fire
safety."

About Zenova Group PLC:
The Group, through Zenova Ltd, is the holder of intellectual
property that underpins a suite of fire safety and temperature
management products and technology. The product range is applicable
to industrial, commercial, and residential markets. The Group's
products include fire retardant paints, insulating paints and
render, fire extinguishing fluid and applications. Through
innovative development, and a refined formulation and development
process, Zenova provides industry leading solutions across a range
of fire protection and temperature management problems,
comprising:
Zenova FP
A water-based fire-protection paint that prevents ignition and
spread of fire. It can be used in commercial, industrial, and
domestic applications on variety of materials, from wood to
metal.
Zenova IP
Thermal insulation paint that creates a thermal barrier,
provides thermal reflection of sunrays and infrared radiation,
anti-condensation, and anti-mould properties. It can be applied to
virtually any exterior or interior material, regardless of the
surface.
Zenova IR
Thermal insulation render to enhance the effectiveness of
insulation by creating a thermo shield. It fills all cavities and
gaps regardless of geometric shape and creates a vacuum - the most
effective insulator.
Zenova FX
Patent pending fire extinguisher filled with proprietary Zenova
Fluid (Zenova FXB) that extinguishes all types of fires, reduces
chances of re-ignition, works in cold (-15 C) conditions, is
non-toxic and does not produce harmful by-products.
Zenova CS
Patent pending next generation ceiling sprinkler filled with
proprietary Zenova Fluid (Zenova FXB) that removes the need to
install large fluid tanks, piping, complicated equipment, and
software. This sprinkler could be installed in the kitchen.
The Group has achieved this without compromising the
sustainability of natural and economical resources, including
personal health and safety, with ecologically sound products.
