The “SATAC” System
The “SATAC” System consists of “SATAC” spray grade cellulose insulation and Encotec commercial spray adhesives. In some cases, the surface will require the Encotec Primer prior to being sprayed. There are five (5) standard colors this system is available: White, Off-White, Oyster, Tan or Gray. These items were designed to work in combination with each other to provide an attractive, durable, and long-lasting interior finish for commercial structures.
The material is applied in a continuous flow directly to the surface. The adhesive permanently bonds the insulation to the substrate forming a monolithic seal that virtually eliminates air infiltration. This thermal barrier also controls condensation and improves the acoustical environment. “SATAC” is suitable for wood, concrete or metal buildings which will remain open and exposed.
Fire Protection
“SATAC” is manufactured using an all borate fire retardant which is integrated within the recycled wood fibers. “SATAC” is noncombustible and will not allow heat to penetrate through it. This Class 1 Building material meets all test requirements for ASTM C-1149 Type II, Standard Specification for Self-Supported Spray Applied Cellulosic Thermal Material Insulation. This specific test allows the material to remain exposed. NOTE: Cellulose insulation specified for residential applications do not meet this standard.
Thermal Performance
The “SATAC” System is applied in a continuous flow directly to the surface and creates a monolithic seal. This unique application stops air infiltration by sealing voids, seams, cracks, and other structural irregularities. Traditional insulation is manufactured in prefabricated sizes creating voids or compressions when installed. They can allow air to infiltrate the structure. The seamless and energy efficient finish that “SATAC” creates allows the insulation to perform to its maximum thermal efficiency and ultimately saves money on heating and cooling costs.
Condensation Control
When hot, humid air comes in contact with a colder surface, condensation forms. Moisture development can also reduce thermal efficiency of the insulation. The monolithic seal the “SATAC” System creates forms a thermal barrier that reduces the likelihood of moisture development and maintains maximum thermal efficiency.
Acoustical Control
The “SATAC” System forms a sound barrier by sealing off potential sound transmission points. Its resilient fibers naturally absorb sound energy and reduce reverberations, resulting in excellent STC (Sound Transmission Class) and NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) ratings. The “SATAC” System creates an improved acoustical environment for applications ranging from theaters, auditoriums and television/sound studios as well as manufacturing environments.
Surface Preparation
The substrate (metal, concrete or wood) must be structurally sound, free of rust, leaks, pealing paints, defective coatings, or any other condition that may adversely affect proper bonding. Encotec Etcher/Cleaner is recommended to properly clean the surface of grease, oil, and any other particulate. Once dry, the Etcher/Cleaner should be completely rinsed off all surfaces. The insulation can be spray applied once the surface is free of moisture.
Metal Building Primer: Recent advancements in metal building coatings may adversely affect the bonding properties of the “SATAC” System to these surfaces. Recommendation: All metal buildings manufactured after January 2001 must be initially spackled with Encotec Primer Sealer. Once dry, the insulation can be spray applied to the surface.
