AKA Acoustics: Proud Distributors of C-Coat in Australia

In the pursuit of innovation and sustainability, AKA Acoustics is proud to announce its partnership as a distributor of C-Coat in Australia. This groundbreaking thermal insulation coating represents a significant advancement in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, perfectly aligning with the needs of architects, developers, and professionals in the sustainability sector. C-Coat offers a transformative solution for those seeking to optimise building performance without compromising on design or practicality.

What is C-Coat?

C-Coat is an advanced acrylic water-based coating designed specifically for thermal insulation. Its innovative composition includes fine vacuumed ceramic, glass, and acrylic spheres, working together to block heat through mechanisms of reflection, convection, and low thermal conductivity. With a thickness of just 1.0mm, C-Coat achieves the equivalent thermal insulation of over 200mm of traditional glass wool insulation, making it a space-efficient alternative for modern construction and retrofitting projects.

Features and Benefits of C-Coat

1. High Thermal Resistance:

   • Provides R-value equivalence even at minimal thickness.

   • Drastically reduces heat transfer across surfaces.

2. Energy Savings:

   • Reduces air conditioning load by 20-25%, enabling energy savings of up to 70%.

   • Demonstrated to achieve up to 40% overall energy savings in independent tests.

3. Seamless Application:

   • Easily applied to irregular and complex surfaces using airless sprayers, brushes, or rollers.

   • Minimal disruption to existing infrastructure during application.

4. Durability and Safety:

   • Long-lasting performance under extreme temperatures, from -60°C to 600°C.

   • Fire retardant and free from toxic chemicals or hazardous substances.

5. Versatility:

   • Ideal for roofs, walls, HVAC systems, tanks, and more, with applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

C-Coat’s Technical Excellence

C-Coat’s advanced formula ensures high-performance across a wide range of conditions. Its industrial-grade variants can withstand temperatures up to 600°C, while remaining VOC-compliant and eco-friendly. This makes C-Coat an excellent choice for sustainable construction, where reducing environmental impact is paramount.

Proven Results: Real-World Applications

Extensive real-world testing, such as container trials in Western Australia, has highlighted C-Coat’s effectiveness. In these tests:

• Coated containers reduced internal temperatures significantly more than uncoated ones.

• Energy consumption for cooling was halved, showcasing C-Coat’s ability to enhance energy efficiency while maintaining optimal thermal performance.

Notable Projects Using C-Coat

C-Coat has been trusted by some of the world’s most prestigious organizations, including:

• Virgin Galactic: High-tech applications demanding superior thermal control.

• Suez: Sustainable infrastructure projects.

• PB (Parsons Brinckerhoff): Advanced engineering solutions.

• Indian Navy: Maritime applications requiring exceptional durability and efficiency.

As we introduce C-Coat into the Australian built environment, these examples underscore its versatility and reliability in both cutting-edge and everyday applications.

Applications Across Industries

1. Architectural Integration:

   • Seamlessly integrates into residential and commercial building projects.

   • Highly effective for retrofitting older buildings to meet modern energy standards.

2. Industrial Use Cases:

   • Provides thermal insulation for pipes, tanks, and HVAC systems.

   • Mitigates risks such as condensation and corrosion under insulation (CUI).

3. Specialized Applications:

   • Supports climate control in food storage facilities, livestock sheds, and hydroponic setups.

   • Ensures worker safety in workshops and other industrial environments.

Environmental and Sustainability Impact

C-Coat’s superior insulating properties significantly reduce energy usage for heating and cooling, thereby lowering carbon emissions.
