In 1994, NASA patented Protective Coating for Ceramic materials (PCC). This high emissivity coating was developed to be used as part of the heat shield for the next generation of Space Vehicles, the X-33 and X-34. Wessex Incorporated of Blacksburg, VA obtained an exclusive license for PCC excluding aerospace applications and went on to develop Emisshield™ Coatings. Ventech Industries of Eliot, Maine has teamed with Wessex Inc to form Dynacote LCC and bring the Emisshield™ Coatings to the fireplace, chimney, barbeque, stove, and accessory markets.

Dynacote Thermal Protective Coatings with Emisshield™ will serve the fireplace, chimney and venting industry as well as the barbeque and accessories markets by keeping heat where it belongs offering tremendous benefits which improve the transfer of radiant heat. These benefits include increased efficiency, decreased emissions, prolonged substrate life, increased abrasion resistance with valuable energy savings

Chimneys Increase Efficiency Decrease Emissions Better Corrosion Resistance Increase Abrasion Resistance Prolong Life of the Substrate Energy Savings

Barbeques & Fireplaces Improve Efficiency Reduce Light-Up Time prolonged life of the substrate     Stoves     Decrease Emissionss Improve Efficiency Increase Transfer of Radiant Heat

Accessories Make Fireplace Screens Cooler to the Touch Make Fireplace Screens Transfer More Heat into the room Increase the Life of Firebacks Improve the Performance of Firebacks
