Geosciences Ltd. is a highly accredited 48 year old research and development laboratory that performs thermal physics testing of materials and insulation systems.
Geosciences' Thermal Property Testing Laboratory has received accreditation, certification, approval or acceptance from the following agencies:
- California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Bureau of Home Furnishings.
- International Code Council (ICC).
- Dade County Building Code Compliance and Protocol P A301-94
- MIL-C-45662A through Loral Aeronutronic (Aeronutronic Ford Corporation).
- Special Process Supplier's Certification through Aerojet Liquid Rocket Company.
- Pacific Gas & Electric Company approves Geoscience as a qualified insulation testing laboratory.
- Puget Sound Power approves Geoscience as a qualified testing laboratory.
- San Diego Gas & Electric Company approves Geoscience as a qualified testing laboratory.
- Oregon Department of Energy approves Geoscience as a qualified insulation testing laboratory.
- Canadian General Standards Board has reviewed Geosciences' testing laboratory and finds it to be qualified to perform tests for Canadian insulation manufacturers.
- Cytec Fiberite has certified Geoscience as a high quality control laboratory service organization.
- Governmental Acceptance of Geosciences' Thermal Testing and Evaluation Capabilities For over 40 years, Geoscience has performed contract research for governmental agencies such as AEC, ERDA, DOE, NASA, ONR, USAF, and the USN's
- Civil Engineering Laboratory at Port Hueneme in connection with thermal property measurement activities (thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, specific heat, emissivity, viscosity, etc.). The contract monitors of these agencies visit Geoscience to review measurement techniques. In all cases, over this long time period, the government has accepted and utilized Geosciences' data in energy and conservation programs
- Geoscience is also involved in a number of cooperative thermal property activities with institutional organizations and technical societies i.e., the Canadian National Research Council, ASTM C-16 Committee and ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers advances technology to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world)

Geoscience Test Portfolio 3rd Party Conclusions:
The testing protocol was reviewed by Independent 3rd party engineers and energy consultants.
It is their overwhelming combined opinion that the testing protocol were run to ASTM Standards and / or the mathematical computations used in the tests are consistent to thermal physics testing of materials and insulation systems standards.
Their overwhelming opinion is that the addition of Insuladd© Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint into paints and roof coatings can improve the effective insulation value and energy efficiency of exterior surfaces such as walls and roofs by a value equal or close to R-6 insulation.
Interior walls and ceilings painted with Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint have shown to contribute to energy savings of 20% and more.
It was furthur noted that conventional insulation materials like fiberglass, cellulose, rock wool and Styrofoam, no matter how thick, have almost no ability to block radiant heat energy which can account for as much as 93 percent of summer heat gain and up to 75 percent winter heat loss in conventional structures.
Insuladd© Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint blocks radiant heat and is a simple and affordable solution to high energy costs.

Insuladd© Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint blocks radiant heat and is a simple and affordable solution to high energy costs.
Geosience Ltd has run over 10 different ASTM or ASTM based tests for Insuladd® Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint.
The testing results clearly prove that Insuladd© Thermal Barrier insulating paint additive reduces heat flux through ordinary paint and assemblies by up to 38%.
The Geoscience Ltd. test results show that Insuladd© Thermal Barrier insulating additive for paint is one simple step you can take toward energy conservation that will work for you winter and summer, year after year!
