BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 schematically shows a metal substrate coated with multiple layers of thermal barrier coating.
FIG. 2 show cross-sectional profiles of three exemplary structural members useful in the present invention that are typically formed by roll forming: A. Z-member, B. C-member, C. U-member (e.g., a track).
FIG. 3 shows cross-sectional profiles of three exemplary roofing panels, an exemplary wall stiffener section, and an exemplary floor deck section that are typically formed by roll forming: A. standing seam roofing, B. simple corrugated roofing, C. spaced rib roofing, D. wall stiffener, and E. floor decking.
FIG. 4 shows an exemplary roll formed emergency egress opening frame illustrating placement of a peripheral thermal barrier coating.
FIG. 5 schematically shows different locations on a steel framed building where use of thermal barrier coated structural members provides an advantageous thermal barrier.
FIG. 6 illustrates a simplified version of a combined roll forming and thermal barrier coating line. A. top view, B. side view.
FIG. 7 illustrates a simplified version of a thermal barrier coating system that includes an uncoiler, a sprayer that can spray bands of coating on one or both faces of a metal coil, and a re-coiler. A. top view, B. side view.
FIG. 8 illustrates a simplified version of a thermal barrier coating systems that includes an uncoiler, a coating bath, e.g., a hot dip bath, and a re-coiler. A. top view, B. side view.
FIG. 9 shows a cross-section of a portion of a sandwich panel having thermal barrier coatings on the exterior surfaces and a foam core.
