SIMIX Multi-Surface Ceramic Clearcoat

What is SIMIX?

SIMIX Ceramic Clearcoat is a permanent, hygroscopic, non film-forming, super-hard liquid glass that will never yellow, chip, peel or crack. Just like in glass, the primary ingredient in SIMIX is silica (sand). That is mixed with potassium and lithium, which are very conductive. SIMIX conducts heat. It is not an insulator, like all other coil coating products on the market today. SIMIX coating improves airflow from 16%–26%, pulling more heat from the fins and tubes, which in turn reduces run time.

Air conditioning

Improves the ability of any new or old unit to produce dramatically colder and fresher air. Destroys all foul musty odors.

  • Lowers your energy use 12%–24%*
  • Adds years to the life of your A/C units
  • Prevents salt damage

All floor surfaces

Never strip again. Never burnish again.

  • Reduces annual floor maintenance time 20%–40%
  • Coating destroys germs, viruses and odors and generates clean fresh air
  • High-traction coating reduces slips and falls
  • Less expensive than acrylic floor finish

White membrane roofs

Reflects 100% of the solar UV and IR heat band on all white and light color roofs.

  • Reduces roof temperature (reducing the heat island effect)
  • Breaks down greenhouse gases
  • Adds years to the life of all roof surfaces

*Savings are site-specific and vary with climate, equipment and run hours.

How it works

Why coated equipment uses less energy

Traditional state: the insulating trap SIMIX state: conductive liquid glass
Two-panel illustration. Left, an uncoated fin surface pitted with corrosion and salt traps that block and insulate heat transfer. Right, the same surface sealed by a smooth SIMIX liquid-glass layer that conducts heat away.

Expansion and contraction open microscopic gaps between fins and tubes. Salt and airborne pollution settle in, and the unit works harder for less cooling.

SIMIX fills those gaps with a smooth, conductive surface. More airflow, better heat transfer, shorter run times.

01

Fills microscopic gaps

A smoother surface transfers heat better and gives corrosion nowhere to start.

02

Conducts, not insulates

Silica with potassium and lithium pulls heat off the coil. Conventional coatings insulate it.

03

Stays cleaner longer

Low surface energy resists dirt, grease and moisture, so PM cycles stretch out.

04

Cleans the air it passes

SPOT-ON™ titanium dioxide plus a high-pH surface break down odors, mold and allergens.

05

Cools roof surfaces

A high-solar-reflectance clearcoat drops roof-membrane temperature — lowering the heat load into the units above and blunting the local heat-island effect.

Facility profiles

Where coated equipment pays back fastest

The economics follow two variables: how many hours a year the equipment runs, and how hard the surrounding air works on the surface. These four profiles are where both are high.

Cooling that never switches off. A conductive coating keeps heat rejection at design rate, and its hygroscopic behaviour works with the humidity band a server hall has to hold.

Cooling is the load that never stops. Coil cleanliness and heat transfer are where kWh come back — at scale, continuously.

The business case

One system, two ways to save

The same clean-and-coat application lowers the utility bill (OpEx) and pushes equipment replacement further out (CapEx).

OpEx reduction

Energy off the utility bill

Conventional coatings insulate the coil. SIMIX leaves a conductive layer of silica with potassium and lithium, so heat keeps moving off the surface: 16–26% more airflow, 12–24% less kWh, and payback in 3–9 months at an estimated $75–125 per ton applied.

  • Shorter run times on equipment you already own
  • Return inside a single budget cycle
  • Every avoided kWh is the one the dirtiest plant would have supplied
CapEx deferral

Replacements taken off the plan

The coating reflects UV and infrared and seals the gaps where oxidation starts, which ends salt air and acid rain damage rather than slowing it. The major HVAC replacement it was driving moves off the capital schedule — and the embodied carbon of building that unit is avoided with it.

  • 1,008-hour third-party salt fog and UV record
  • Cash stays in reserves instead of buying steel
  • Carbon separation at a fraction of carbon capture cost

SIMIX turns your evaporator coil into an air purifier

Cleaner, fresher indoor air

Cleaning and coating the evaporator coil breaks down airborne germs, viruses, odors and allergens instead of letting the coil recirculate them. Independent testing at a busy Chicago-area diner found the air cleaner and fresher than outdoors, with no UV-C light source used.

How does SIMIX protect HVAC/R coil surfaces?+
Clean, then protect. The cleaner removes contamination that blocks airflow and heat transfer; the ceramic clearcoat fills the microscopic gaps between fins and tubes, leaving a smooth, conductive surface that resists corrosion while supporting thermal performance.
How much energy will I save?+
Savings are site-specific, not a fixed guarantee. Documented sites have reported roughly 12–24% less kWh — the Gilbert, Arizona campus came in at 21.52%. It depends on climate, equipment age, run hours and your rate, so we size an estimate for your equipment instead of quoting one number.
What is the payback period?+
Commercial HVAC applications commonly report 3–9 months. A certified technician typically charges an estimated $75–$125 per ton to clean and coat a unit, depending on your area.
Is it safe for people and food areas?+
Both products are water-based, zero-VOC and fragrance-free. The cleaner is NSF-registered as a nonfood compound (A1, A4, B2, L1), non-toxic, hypoallergenic and safe for all metals. In concentrate it is an eye and skin irritant — follow the label.
Who applies it — and do we shut down?+
An HVAC technician or your own maintenance staff, sprayed, mopped or squeegeed. No shutdown; floor programmes run around live operations. Do not apply the clearcoat in direct sunlight or on a hot surface — it sets up too fast.
How long does the coating last?+
It is permanent — non film-forming, so it will not yellow, chip or peel. Maintenance programmes add coats over time and refresh floor traffic lanes. Rinse and change filters quarterly for best HVAC results.
