Private Bus Manufacturer In Florida

Vehicles

Class A Touring Buses

Areas Applied

This customer used 300-SDC Sound Deadening Coating in the interior, storage compartments, and generator compartment. They also applied 350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating to the inner shell of the bus.

Purpose

300-SDC effectively reduces noise and vibrations, enhancing comfort for passengers in commercial and private buses. As an interior coating, 350-TIC reduces heat transfer from sun into the internal environment of the bus.

Results

Cost of installation has been reduced and owners will not need to replace insulation every 2-5 years. This bus has become one of the quietest and coolest conversions in the market. LizardSkin OEM products have also enhanced the strength of the roof, thus removing noise from weather and wind. The LizardSkin OEM coatings have enhanced substrate protection since the coatings bond directly to surfaces. The customer enjoys the ease of localized repair (if necessary) from an accident or otherwise, and the repair can be done in the field.

Thickness

Areas Applied

Company is using LizardSkin OEM coating on vehicle underbodies

Purpose

To protect crew and equipment from heat gain from transmission, engine, and exhaust

Results

350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating is easier to apply than conventional insulation and requires fewer man-hours. It has taken some of the hottest components of the vehicle and neutralized the thermal transfer. Continuous, seamless coverage protects substrates from rust and corrosion. The application is safe for in-house paint crews since the coating is low-VOC and water-based.

Ambulance Cab Shells

Lizardskin oem products used

Areas Applied

LizardSkin OEM coating was spray-applied to interior of the ambulance cab shells.

Purpose

To protect passengers, crew, and equipment from radiant heat gain from the sun

Results

Seamless membrane characteristic of 350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating enhances the insulating abilities because the coating covers not only the shell, but also support framing, which was not possible with the previous insulation solution. 3rd party testing done by this company also showed a drastic reduction in time to cool the interior from 98˚F to 78˚F per AMD-012 testing. Additionally, the company has found that the coating is easier to install and requires fewer man-hours to apply.

Armored Vehicles company in massachusetts

Vehicles

Tactical Military and Police Vehicles 

Lizardskin oem products used

Areas Applied

LizardSkin OEM thermal insulating coating was applied to encapsulate entire interiors, also wheel wells and underbodies

Purpose

To improve crew comfort by reducing sun, engine, and exhaust radiant heat gain. Crew safety is enhanced, as it lessens chances of heat-related illness for personnel riding inside the vehicle for extended periods of time.

Results

350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating is flexible enough that the insulation will stay intact when vehicle takes damage from some impacts and is easily repaired if it is damaged. Customers require FMVSS 302 certification that 350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating has passed.

LizardSkin OEM Products

SPECIALTY VEHICLES COMPANY IN OHIO, USA

Vehicles

Specialty vehicles including Portable Medical Facilities, Bookmobiles, Portable Classrooms, Marketing Vehicles, and more.

Areas Applied

Encapsulate entire interiors, wheel wells, underbodies, firewalls, and rooftop to reduce heat gain.

Purpose

Improve interior comfort on each unique vehicle without having to redesign insulation specification because of the coatings’ spray-applied nature.

Results

LizardSkin OEM products have actively reduced heat intrusion from solar heat gain as well as reduced onboard vibration and noise. Not only does this group use 300-TIC on the interior, but they also apply the 200-RRC to the roof to further reduce solar loading.

Thickness

350-TIC and 300-SDC @ 40 mils (1mm), 200-RRC @ 30 mils (1mm)

CLASS B MOTORHOMES IN OHIO, USA

Vehicles

Class B Motorhomes Conversions on Dodge Promaster Platform

Areas Applied

Encapsulate the entire interior with 350-TIC, applying 300-SDC to the wheel wells and floors

Purpose

Use 350-TIC to improve interior comfort by reducing radiant heat gain from the sun and undercarriage, and 300-SDC to dramatically decrease road noise

Results

In addition to reducing heat gain and road noise, the client has reported that the spray-applied solution has decreased their labor hours needed for insulation install.

Thickness

Class C Motorhomes

Lizardskin oem products used

Areas Applied

The floor and firewall between engine and exhaust, as well as the interior of the vehicle

Purpose

Reduce heat in the foot box area

Results

The addition of 350-TIC to the exhaust shield has greatly reduced the heat transfer into the foot box areas of the front engine Class C motorhomes. Lizardskin OEM 350-TIC has effectively eliminated customer complaints that the floor would become uncomfortably warm while traveling on the road.

Mining Vehicles

Areas Applied

Encapsulate the interior of the vehicle

Purpose

Reduce condensation and improve insulation and thermal protection

Results

By combining 350-TIC with a conventional foam insulation, the company has been able to provide condensation protection without having to reengineer anything because 350-TIC Thermal Insulating Coating sprayed on to the complex geometry of the internal shell. By preventing internal condensation, the conventional insulation was no longer susceptible to thermal performance degradation due to moisture and mold/mildew was no longer a concern. Because of the brutal conditions of the Arctic Circle, more coating was specified than would be needed in normal circumstances.

Thickness
