Intermat - Anti-Thermal / Anti-IR Camouflage Coating Materials

Intermat specialize in special-countermeasure wide-spectrum anti-IR coating materials (400nm - 20000nm) for concealment against thermal observation and deception of heat-seeking missiles. Intermat is widely known for being the only company promoting these state-of-the-art, anti-thermal coating materials that have been developed after many years of R&D.

ANTI-THERMAL / ANTI-IR CAMOUFLAGE COATING MATERIALS

Intermat's anti-thermal / anti-IR coating materials are not just other camouflage paints that you have come across before. They are truly the most advanced technological achievement of electronic / thermal-type camouflage coating materials for all military assets. The fundamental principle regarding the application is perfect thermal concealment, so that assets are unidentifiable by all modern IR sensors and thermal tracking systems.

CAMOUFLAGE YOUR THERMAL SIGNATURE

One of the most commonly used techniques for tracing and scanning is the use of infrared photography that reveals those objects that are hotter than their surrounding environment. By using Intermat coating materials, you can achieve a balance / equalization between the environment's IR signature and the thermal signature of the asset.

As a result, assets cannot be identified by IR or other thermal devices in the near, mid, or far spectrum (sniper scopes, NVGs, thermal-viewers, FLIRs, CVTTS, LANTIRN, LRASSS, laser designators, GPS / INS aided missiles that use IR sensors during final approach, satellites), simply because the asset is not seen or identified as hotter than its environment.

NATO'S STANAG AND IR-THREAT DEFINITION UPDATE

NATO has recently updated its standards with regards to which area of the spectrum a thermal threat is defined at. This information is now registered into NATO's database (up to 12000nm). This is a big step forward from what a thermal threat was perceived to be in the past (spectrum in the region of 1000nm - 1972 specification).

This update on thermal threat definition strengthens the specification of our coating materials, fully protecting you at the wide spectrum of 400nm to 20000nm against all IR threats.

In addition, our advanced-technology coating materials are in full compliance with NATO's Standardization Agreement 4319 under the title 'Counter-Surveillance Requirements for Future Main Battle Tanks - Infrared / Thermal Aspects'.

COATING MATERIALS’ CHARACTERISTICS

• Coating materials achieve up to 50% IR signature reduction (unique feature internationally)
• They can reduce external temperature up to 65%
• They are effective in the wide IR spectrum of 400nm to 20000nm
• They resemble the assets' thermal signature, with the environment's IR signature
• They can be applied on any asset, either mobile, fixed, aerial, naval

Coating materials are passive to the environment and when applied they stay on guard day or night, 365 days per year and for a long time.

BENEFITS OF INTERMAT ANTI-THERMAL CAMOUFLAGE

• You adapt to the IR environment of your area
• You are protected from thermal threat
• Your survivability in a complex and advanced military environment is significantly optimized
• You gain a sustainable advantage
• Targeting friendly assets is avoided
• Coating materials can be used as a permanent countermeasure during day or night, 365 days a year
• You can finally do away with traditional and conventional means of concealment that limit mobility, are user-dependent, require valuable resources, and often undermine the secrecy of the plan

With Intermat paints you can make an entire area disappear 365 days a year.

ANTI-THERMAL CREAM FOR SPECIAL FORCES

It is also very important to note that Intermat is constantly evolving this technology. The most recent progress entails PVC painting and the creation of an anti-thermal camouflage cream intended for special forces.

The anti-thermal camouflage cream can be applied on the uncovered part of the body (face, hands), so that the soldier can pass unnoticed, not only at the level of optical camouflage but most importantly being undetected by thermal tracking devices. Tests revealed that normally a soldier could be easily detected at 1,000m, but with Intermat's anti-thermal cream they would have to approach at a distance of about 150m to 200m before they can be exposed.

We believe that we offer the latest development of a unique technology, and although attempts have been made in the past to produce paints with anti-IR properties, these were proven inferior and are already considered obsolete in comparison to what Intermat can now deliver with proven tests and results both at the real-life battlefield and the laboratory.
