Yes, but "spray on" implies (to me, anyway, and please no comments on my cranial ability to naturally sprout unneeded organic heat-retaining covering) that stuff that follically-challenged individuals use to cover up bald spots.

"Spray-in flocculation of adhesive heat insulating material via the controlled, slow movement of a mechanical containing device moving laterally along the surface of a pipe for the eventual purpose of having the solidified flocculant act as an insulating medium" would have been enough for me. But then sometimes I'm a stickler for detail.
