HeatBarrier XP has been through the following tests:
ASTM D3310-00 Corrosivity – No Evidence of corrosion
ASTM C 1371-04a Emittance - IR Emittance 0.019
ASTM C 518-10 Thermal transmission- R-Value 3.568 per inch
ASTM E 84-10 Flame Spread – Class B
The Florida Solar Energy Center at Cape Canaveral has tested radiant barriers in both small scale laboratory and full scale building models. Their results indicate that radiant barriers provide significant resistance to heat transfer. Current tests conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Mississippi support the findings of the Florida Solar Energy Center. Northeastern Illinois University conducted winter tests in residential and commercial structures using infra-red thermograph photography. The photos showed significant resistance to heat transfer over the regular insulation.
