Questions related to Structure/Home Protection Q: What can be protected with Thermo-Gel® 200L? A: Thermo-Gel® will protect any surface, such as shrubs, trees, windows, siding, cars, fuel tanks, rail cars, utility poles, etc. Q: Does Thermo-Gel® cause damage to my house? A: Thermo-Gel® is n environmentally compatible, non aggressive gel, consisting of 98% water, a small portion of surfactants and the gelating agent, which is a super absorbent polymer, similar to those used in baby diapers. Thermo-Gel® is not aggressive to paint, wood, glass, stone or concrete. Due to high water content, direct exposure to electricity should be avoided in order to reduce the risk of short circuits. Q: How much do I need for my house? A: 1 gallon of Thermo-Gel®, per 50 gallons of water (2% dilution), will cover 1,000 square feet. Q: How long does the protection last? A: When applied at the proper amount, Thermo-Gel® will protect a structure for several hours. The cooling effect is provided by the evaporation of water from the gel. As long as there is still a gel layer on the object, it will remain protected. Strong winds and very high temperatures will decrease the protection time. Q: At which temperature does Thermo-Gel® start to burn? A: The gel consists of 98% water. Just like water, the gel never starts to burn. Only after all of the water has been evaporated the residuals can begin to be burnt. However, as they make up for less than 2%, there is barely enough energy set free in this unlikely case. The polymer decomposes mainly into carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and water. No toxic components like cyanides or hydrogen chloride have been found. Q: How else can I use Thermo-Gel®? A: Thermo-Gel® is very effective in creating a home defense barrier around a structure so it can be used to create a fire free zone around a house.
