I wanted to share a product that, with all the talk here about improving the energy efficiency of your home through better insulation, I figured some of you might be interested in. This product, produced by Hy-Tech and endorsed by NASA, can be added to any paint to give it insulating properties: it's a fine, white powder blend of high-strength ceramic microspheres, each sphere around the size of a grain of flour. The spheres are hollow and the gas has been removed from the space inside, resulting in a vacuum. The result, in effect, is a miniature thermos bottle: a microscopic hollow vacuum sphere that resists thermal conductivity and reduces the transfer of sound. The resulting layer of paint has both is both a heat and sound insulator. Pretty cool!Some fringe benefits, as listed on the product website, include:
- Hard ceramics provide longer lasting durability which means you paint less often.
- Exceptional stain and scrub resistance
- Ceramics are non-toxic and fire resistant.
- Can be used on interior or exterior surfaces
- The hard, smooth surface resists corrosion, abrasion, mold and mildew

Hy Tech insulative paint is a SCAM
I wanted to greenify my house, painted my horizontal roof with cheap white paint and it does a much better thermal job than HyTech, it is not as warm underneath
The dozen same websites with all the fonts and colors should have been a red flag right there
