TEST REPORT RUN ON 5/22/2007
OBJECT OF TEST:
TO DETERMINE THE HEAT HOLDING CAPACITY OF THE VOLUME OF
RADIANT BARRIER ADDITIVE VERSUS THE WEIGHT OF A RADIANT BARRIER ADDITIVE.
|
Test Set Up
In this test, it is assumed that the weight of a radiant barrier additive is directly related to the amount of heat it will hold .
Test Equipment Required,
#1- 3 measuring cups, "to measure volumes in cc".
#2- scale to measure weight in grams.
|
|
Results of Test
Scale was zeroed in & set to grams.
Empty cup weight 117 grams
# 1 Hytech weight 324 grams - 117 = 207 grams
# 2 Insuladd weight 314 grams - 116 = 197 grams
# 3 Heatshield-r20 159 grams - 117 = 42 grams
# 1 Hytech weight 207 ÷ 42 =
4.93 Times heavier than Heatshield-r20
# 2 Insuladd weight 197 ÷ 42 =
4.69 Times heavier than Heatshield-r20
# 3 Heatshield-r20 159 grams - 117 = 42 grams
OUR COMPETITORS AVERAGE 4.81 TIMES HEAVIER THAN HEATSHIELD-R20
|
Test Set Up
# 1 A thermal couple panel capable of measuring the temperature of a dry powders,
in three specimens and ambient temperature simultaneously .
# 2 MicroWave to heat specimens to their peak temperature over the same period of time.
# 3 Timer for accurate intervals.
|
|
Test Procedure
The three specimens were heated for 3 minutes.
Remove from MicroWave.
Test probes inserted immediately.
Timer set for 5 minute intervals.
Test Results recorded.

30.08 ƒ + 29.50 ƒ = 59.58 ƒ TOTAL
AVERAGE TEMP.
59.58 ƒ÷ 2 = 29.79 ƒ
HEATSHIELD-R20
29.79 ƒ- 17.75 ƒ = 12.04 ƒ
AN AVERAGE 12.04 ƒ OF DEGREES DIFFERANCE

|
CONCLUSION OF TEST
INITIAL AVERAGE START TEMPERATURE OF OUR COMPETITION WAS 148.50 HEATSHIELD-R20
WAS 15.59 DEGREES LESS AT 133 DEGREES
OUR TWO CLOSEST COMPETITORS AVERAGE 4.81 TIMES HEAVIER THAN HEATSHIELD-R20
HEATSHIELD-R20 RUNS AN AVERAGE OF 12.04 ƒ DEGREES LOWER IN TEMPERATURE
THAN THAN OUR TWO CLOSEST COMPETITORS
CONCLUSION: HEATSHIELD-R20™ IS SUPERIOR AT BLOCKING
AND NOT RETAINING HEAT |
