All About Ceramic Coatings (taken from isbu-info.org) 

• 100% non-toxic, a child or pet could swallow it with no effect.  ... FACT
• Compatible with every material and surface.  ................................. FACT
• Non-polluting of course.  ..................................................................... FACT
• Safe in our water, lakes, streams, and soil.  ................................... FACT
• Highly effective: 1 mm, the thickness of a business card.  ........... FACT

    - We only know and believe the government studies and independent lab studies we
      see as evidence.
    - We see no factual negative studies from any reputable sources.
    - Our ISBU Association is not affilliated with any manufacturer or distributor of insulation.

Certainly these residential and commercial forms of Ceramic Insulation paints and coatings are
not identical to the formulas used on the NASA Space Shuttles. We think no intelligent person
would come to that conclusion.  However the research and technology from NASA has led to the
use of Cenospheres and their formulations for other insulative and thermal resistant uses.

The incredible active ingredients are hollow microscopic thermal balls filled with air. It looks like a
an off-white powder because the balls are so tiny, about the thickness of a human hair. Because
the balls are made of a pure, glass like material, they are called Ceramic. ...Ceramic Beads.

The microscopic ceramic beads (balls) have a technical name: Cenospheres, or sometimes called
micro-spheres, or nano-spheres for the smallest size. All are technically in the Cenosphere family
of 100% non-toxic hollow glass balls that are as hard as rocks, or harder.

NASA Technology
Many new space age products have been developed through the efforts of NASA and their research
projects, but did you know that a new Ceramic Insulation coatings were originally developed and
perfected by NASA for use on the space shuttles? Through the research of other private companies
in the United States, the Ceramic ingredients can now be used on your home, office, storage units,
roofs, cars and boats.  When used on ISBU, they are especially successful because the ISBU's
are a hard surface for easy bonding, and perfect benefits because we want thin but very powerful
insulations on ISBU so we have more usable space as we modify and combine the ISBU's creatively.

The Almost Perfect Insulation
The Ceramic paints and coatings are not limited to only ISBU shipping container construction.
Although Ceramic paints are a perfect match for ISBU's, the paints and coatings are already widely
used as the ultimate Eco-Green insulation solution. With much success, these coatings are now
being used on prefabs, shelters, industrial buildings, offices, factories, and is gaining acceptance as
the new solution to reduce heating and cooling cost on the normal homes. It is well adapted to top
coating all type roofs and exteriors including wood, cement, stucco, metal, and tiles.

Once applied to a hard surface, specifically an ISBU container module, the thin coating will reflect both extreme heat and  and also UV rays before it even enters your home or other structure. The ceramic coating can be used in virtually any paint type, and virtually any color applied to walls, roofs, heat ducts, pipes, ...almost any hard surface you can imagine.

The best paint and coatings to use with the dry Ceramic powders are elasto-polymer paints which are now quite common from most dealers or distributors.
