Stop heat transfer with rubber!
(OP)
Hi all, I need to coat aluminium profiles with some kind of rubber in order to minimise the heat transfer through them, but I dont know any product that can do a thermal barrier. Any recommendation about product and process?
Many thanks

What temperatures are you considering?
Most elastomeric materials fail at lees than 200°C

There are other approaches besides a solid material. Thin (>13 mm, <20 mm) air gaps work tolerably well; fiberglass insulation is mostly air, when you get right down to it. It's basically an air gap that is prevented from convecting by the fiberglass. Air has an R-value of about 5.5 per inch of thickness, assuming no convection.
