    A test was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Insuladd in reducing heat transfer through stucco walls. The exterior surface temperature of a stucco wall painted with Insuladd was 92 degrees F, significantly lower than the 114 degrees F of a standard painted stucco wall. The interior surface temperature was also lower at 76 degrees F compared to 83 degrees F, demonstrating Insuladd's ability to increase a structure's energy efficiency by decreasing heat influx.

    Stucco Walls

    Insuladd test: Evaluation of Insuladd for wall applications: Stucco Walls Tech Traders, Inc. 307 Holly Road Vero Beach, FL. 32963 Test: June 14th, 1997 Location: Ft. Pierce, FL. Conditions: Clear and sunny with a temperature of 91 deg. F at 1:00 PM. Structure: 2 identical free standing rental apartments. One structure had stucco walls painted with a regular off white house paint and the other structure had stucco walls painted with the same paint with Insuladd added to it as per manufacturers directions. Wall insulation of the structures was verified to be of the same type and rating. Results: Outside wall surface temperature in direct sunlight: Interior wall surface temperature. (sun bearing side of structure with A/C set at 72 deg. F ) Painted stucco wall 114 deg. F 83 deg. F Insuladd painted stucco wall 92 deg. F 76 deg. F

    Summary: The use of Insuladd in the paint applied to the exterior wall of the subject residence showed a marked drop in the measured heat influx into the structure. The resulting difference in the interior wall surface temperatures registered between the Insuladd painted wall compared to the standard painted wall was 7 deg. F in this test. This temperature difference equates to a relatively substantial increase in the energy efficiency of the structure painted with Insuladd. Test supervisor: Clem Hawkins C12R-400M Test validated: 6/20/97
