[0018] The subject matter thermal insulation coating material is a composite material where all inputs are associated with each other when examined in general. Accordingly, the matrix component which meets the characteristics of coating material is water-acrylic dispersion mixture. As the support components which provide the desired characteristics to the structure of the coating material, glass spheres with specific nano or micron dimensions are added and/or filling components with specific weight proportions are added. By means of this, a composite coating material is obtained which provides thermal insulation and besides which can show high resistance to aggressive environmental conditions.

[0019] The thermal insulation coating material comprises water-acrylic polymer emulsion as the matrix component. As also known in the art, the water-acrylic polymer structure has characteristics like easy cleaning, high usage durations and not leading to toxic effect.

[0020] The thermal insulation coating material comprises hollow glass spheres with micron and/or nano-dimensions which provide the characteristics desired to be provided, and/or glass spheres to be used as filling substance. The hollow glass spheres provide greatening of the resin for the coating material and increasing of the volume and obtaining final product with lower weight. Glass spheres do not affect the chemical characteristic of the product where said glass spheres are added. Glass spheres provide easier placement to the mold as they increase the fluidity of the product. They provide lower viscosity. As the glass spheres are added to the coating material as support component, they provide reflection of the heat coming onto the coating material.

[0021] The interface bond between the water-acrylic polymer structure and the hollow glass spheres and glass structures, provided in the thermal insulation coating material, must be increased. During production of the hollow glass spheres, coating is realized together with binding agents. Since the hollow spheres are coated by means of binding agents, a strong interface connection can be set up by means of water-acrylic polymer structure.

[0022] The dimensions of said hollow glass spheres, provided in the thermal insulation coating material, are at a value between 65 and 115 micrometers in order to provide the desired characteristics. The hollow glass spheres are at a value between 3% and 35% by weight in the body of the thermal insulation coating material.
