Governmental Acceptance of Geosciences' Thermal Testing and Evaluation Capabilities For over 40 years, Geoscience has performed contract research for governmental agencies such as AEC, ERDA, DOE, NASA, ONR, USAF, and the USN's Civil Engineering Laboratory at Port Hueneme in connection with thermal property measurement activities (thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, specific heat, emissivity, viscosity, etc.). The contract monitors of these agencies visit Geoscience to review measurement techniques. In all cases, over this long time period, the government has accepted and utilized Geosciences' data in energy and conservation programs

Geoscience is also involved in a number of cooperative thermal property activities with institutional organizations and technical societies i.e., the Canadian National Research Council, ASTM C-16 Committee and ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers advances technology to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world)

Geosience Ltd has run over 10 different ASTM or ASTM based tests for Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint.

The testing results clearly prove that Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating paint additive reduces heat flux through ordinary paint and assemblies by up to 38%.

The Geoscience Ltd. test results show that Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint is one simple step you can take toward energy conservation that will work for you winter and summer, year after year!

Geoscience Test Portfolio 3rd Party Conclusions:

The testing protocol was reviewed by Independent 3rd party engineers and energy consultants. It is their overwhelming combined opinion that the testing protocol were run to ASTM Standards and / or the mathematical computations used in the tests are consistent to thermal physics testing of materials and insulation systems standards. Their overwhelming opinion is that the addition of Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint into paints and roof coatings can improve the effective insulation value and energy efficiency of exterior surfaces such as walls and roofs by a value equal or close to R-6 insulation. Interior walls and ceilings painted with Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint have shown to contribute to energy savings of 20% and more.

It was further noted that conventional insulation materials like fiberglass, cellulose, rock wool and Styrofoam, no matter how thick, have almost no ability to block radiant heat energy which can account for as much as 93 percent of summer heat gain and up to 75 percent winter heat loss in conventional structures.

Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint blocks radiant heat and is a simple and affordable solution to high energy costs.

ROEDIGER AGENCIES - ANALYTICAL LABORATORY

Dear Dr Smith,

INSULADD® INSULATING/ENERGY SAVINGS PAINT ADDITIVE ~ OUTCOME OF PRODUCT TEST RESULTS

We confirm that a sample of Insuladd® was sent to the analytical laboratories of Roediger Agencies to investigate the possible thermal insulating properties of the material when added to ordinary household paint.

Test results reveal that when Insuladd® is added to paint an improved insulation factor of between 7%-35% is achieved. From the tests undertaken it is obvious that should a constant temperature be required behind the test panels, that an energy saving would be achieved when Insuladd® is added to the paint.

It is evident that Insuladd® is a ceramic product and thus is considered as non-toxic.

Attached hereto please find the complete test report.

Yours faithfully,

Dr. AHA Roediger.

NASA ENDORSEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

Insulating Paint Powder Turns Every Color 'Green: No one states it clearer than NASA,

The answer is paint that includes an insulating powder that originated at NASA. Widely used on commercial and residential structures, it transforms any color of paint into an environmentally friendly insulation barrier that saves energy and cost and

Bringing the NASA insulation powder to the public market resulted in an innovative partnership with Tech Traders, Inc. Months of testing and development created Insuladd®, a safe, non-toxic powder that can be added to any interior or exterior paint to transform it into a layer of insulation.
