Wow - you really know a thing or two about this subject! Any chance of an English translation?

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.
