Reflective paint - reflective heat from solar Paint Insultec Help Contribute to reducing global warming Insultec paint, heat reflecting when applied to areas of coverage lowers the temperature inside the buildings, which means less consumption of electricity to run cooling systems which in turn contribute to the reduction of global warming. A win, win situation for everyone.
Developed in Australia this unique composite, forms a membrane that is capable of re-radiating 90% of the infrared and 85% of ultraviolet rays in the atmosphere. Readings of temperature on the underside of the cover areas not treated with heat reflective paint has been recorded at 55.8oC while areas under one roof at the time recorded readings of 38 ° C.
Further testing showed a temperature rise of 1 ° C on the surface treated with heat reflective roof paint and under the same conditions an increase in temperature of 19oC on the untreated surface.
The amount of the return of warmth re-emitted into the atmosphere means less heat left on the roof surface must be conducted by the roofing material in the air, or insulating materials, even inside the roof. Reduce heat available indicates that the transfer of air to reach the roof or insulation material does heat up to temperatures higher than the untreated roofs create.
Reflective roof paint can be applied to large or small areas of the roof made of almost all materials - metals, asbestos, asphalt, fiberglass, wood, concrete, shingles. A particularly successful application of this membrane is the treatment of large industrial and commercial structures that arise in the premises of the experience much lower temperature. Significant reduction of indoor temperatures, produces less, or in many cases, no need for additional ventilation fans and extractors, or even portable air cooling systems.
Insultec heat reflective paint The paint is a water based co-polymer composed of pigments and special fillers. Because it is applied in liquid form of heat reflective paint is also able to fill gaps and cracks up to 1.6 mm, which increases the capacity of the water proof of existing roof. Creation of a membrane over the area of application of heat from Insultec reflective coatings are available in a range of colors, both light and darkness. Under the laws of physics, it is strongly recommended that a lighter shade to be used, rather than a dark, increase the capacity of reflection of the membrane.
Using Insultec, heat reflective paint will make a huge difference in the temperature inside a building, an enormous difference in electricity consumption, and in turn contribute to the global campaign to reduce global warming.
