Frequently Asked Questions about the ASTEC Systems

23. Will ASTEC provide additional insulation value if the dry film thickness is increased?

ASTEC is always applied with a dry film thickness (dft) between 12 mils (305 microns) and 15 mils (382 microns). Any additional thickness will be wasted because the principle of solar radiation control has nothing to do with thickness but everything to do with solar reflectivity and thermal emissivity.
