Ceramic comes in various types, sizes, and chemical composition and is sometimes referred to as "ceramic materials" or "microspheres." Each manufacturer has developed their own process and formula for ceramic based products that meet the needs of consumers as well as better serve a global community. A product's strength and density depends on the company's ability to effectively produce consistent thickness and distribution. The process for producing Gaina needs highly technical and scientific skills.
The question is, "Does Ceramic Insulation Coating really work?"
Energy is consumed by exchanging heat and cold through the walls. Therefore insulation coating on the walls is an excellent idea of saving energy. Gaina ceramic insulation coating comes in liquid form similar to latex paint, it is applied with brushes, rollers, or spray guns.
Ceramic-effects are described as a reduction in heat transfer and protection against UV (ultraviolet rays). This protection means the surface won't degenerate easily and lasts longer. Soundproofing, increased durability, fire resistance, repulsion of chewing insects such as termites, easier cleaning and minimal maintenance are additional benefits achieved when using this product.
Ceramic materials or microspheres vary widely in density. Because most ceramic is turned to flakes and is typically used as an additive, spillage or inaccurate measuring will lower the density of a material. There are some premixed insulation ceramic additive paints on the market, containing less than 20% ceramic.
The specific gravity of ceramics are lighter than water. In the process of drying, ceramics floats to the surface of the coating even when applied on the ceiling or a vertical wall. If ceramics spreads on top of the film, it repels water and dirt, letting it fall away with the rain. The ceramics properties reflect visible and ultraviolet light Spectrum as well, enabling it to last longer than conventional paint.

Gaina film contains 80% specialized ceramic. The other 20% is acrylic silicon resin. The resin adheres the ceramic to the surface and the capillary action of water forms 30 layers in a thin coating (0.5 mm thickness).
Any coating that contains ceramic, may have similar results as a reflective paint. However, the 80% ceramic of Gaina is what creates the vast difference in effectiveness when compared to other insulation coating. This benefits our lives in great areas.
More information about Gaina will come later.
