PM THERMO-SHIELD®, INC. was incorporated in January 1992, when we purchased the THERMO-SHIELD® Company from its developers, GENERAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, of Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had done the national marketing of the THERMO-SHIELD® Coatings within the U.S.A. for one year prior to this time, (through 1991), and had been involved in the export of THERMO-SHIELD® FOR TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THAT. Our sister company, Scotchman Pacific Marketing, has been marketing Machine tools into the Middle East and Asia/Pacific markets since 1987.

HERMO-SHIELD® Coatings were developed by a chemical specialty company of 25 years, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, General Industries Corporation. It took GENERAL INDUSTRIES CORP. 7 years of preparation, testing, and changes to develop their "PERFECT" roof coating, a product designed with the goal "To Cure ALL Roofing Problems".

 ENERAL INDUSTRIES was not working alone:

A.)     ROHM AND HAAS, the resin supplier worked closely in developing and providing the very special resins needed to accomplish this task.

B.)     3-M, worked with GENERAL INDUSTRIES CORP. to determine what the ideal ceramic particles were, to be most efficient for insulation of buildings, and to best reflect solar

radiant energy. These ceramics are a spin-off of the space shuttle technology, and are similar in that they are hollow ceramic bubbles that have tremendous ability to reflect and dissipate heat, and act as nonconductors. These bubbles were incorporated into a non-toxic easy to use, long lasting elastomeric coating. Space age technology is now available for your home, business, and other protective coating needs.

C.)     Much of the SPACE SHUTTLE technology was developed in the Colorado Springs Area, and some of these engineers were available for consultation, to help determine how this space age information could be incorporated into building coatings, for more energy efficient homes and businesses.

 COATINGS:

 The THERMO-SHIELD® ROOF COATING has been on the market since 1984, and early applications are still water tight, flexible, and holding up well, even on flat roofs with ponding of water. The Exterior and Interior Coatings from THERMO-SHIELD® have been providing trouble-free protection to buildings since 1986, and still looking great. 

STUCCO:

In 1992, a synthetic stucco was added to the THERMO-SHIELD® line of coatings, to provide the customer with an elastomeric Stucco that is resistant to cracking, applies like a wall coating and offers the long life, water proofing, and insulating benefits of our other coatings.  

WOOD & DECK SEALER: 

In 1997, THERMO-SHIELD® has added a resin based wood sealer that penetrates and locks wood fibers together, providing longer lasting water resistance. It also enhances the wood grain leaving a beautiful clear finish.
