The Custom Spray System
K-13
is the spray-applied insulation tailored to your
specific project requirements for insulation (R value), noise reduction
(NRC), color, durability, condensation control, texture, and
aesthetics. In addition, it usually provides these features
at lower installed prices than many common systems such as rigid board
and batt insulations, sprayed plasters, and acoustical ceilings.
It is applied to virtually any properly prepared surface
configuration of wood, steel, concrete, glass and other common
construction surfaces. K-13 can be sprayed up to five
inches thick overhead in one application without mechanical
support. Additionally, K-13 serves as the exposed
finish requiring no additional materials.

A Total System: Fiber, Binder, Application
K-13 is a total system of recycled natural fibers,
chemical treatment, binding system and application
method. The K-13 system begins with
specially prepared cellulose fibers which are chemically
treated to add resistance to fire, mold and
mildew. K-13 is produced in a strict,
quality controlled manufacturing process.
K-13 is applied by an international network of
licensed applicators through approved fiber machines and
nozzles for control of the fiber/binder
ratio. During application, the K-13 fibers
are combined with a patented adhesive. The finished product
is a strong, durable monolithic coating of a predetermined
thickness. Some surfaces will require priming prior to being
sprayed.

Naturally Tough
With its carpet-like texture and wide variety of colors,
K-13 is especially attractive as a surface finish in
new construction as well as renovation
projects. Available in six standard colors,
K-13 can also be specified in specially matched custom
colors. |

Thermal Performance
K-13 insulates by creating dead air spaces between
and within its hollow fibers. Because K-13
fibers are sprayed-in-place, they fill cracks, seams and
voids, forming a monolithic coating over the substrate which
reduces air infiltration. Unlike prefabricated
insulations, K-13 has no voids or compressed areas to
reduce thermal efficiency. The result is a more
effective in-place product with exceptionally low heat
transfer characteristics.
The patented adhesive utilized in the installation of
K-13 adheres to virtually all common construction
materials including: metal, wood, concrete, urethane,
styrofoam and glass. Some surfaces may require
pretreatment prior to installing K-13. This
unique adhesive provides unequaled strength allowing
applications of 3/4 inch to over 5 inches without mechanical
support. This capability provides R-values from 3
to over 19. |

Condensation Control
For areas such as indoor pools and ice arenas, K-13 aids in
condensation control. The proper combination of K-13
and ventilation prevents condensation on metal, concrete and other
surfaces. K-13 actually reduces ventilation
requirements, saving in both the ventilation equipment investment and
operating costs.
|
| |
Acoustical Performance
The resilient fibers of K-13 absorb sound
energy instead of reflecting it, reducing reverbation
time and making speech and music more
intelligible. Excessive noise is eliminated with the
application of K-13 while greatly improving ambient sound quality
in a wide variety of building projects including auditoriums, sports
facilities, detention facilities, television and sound studios,
convention centers and parking garages.
