Improve the temperature in your home or building by mixing Koolcoat Radiant Barrier Paint Additive with ordinary paint for just pennies per gallon! Transform your ordinary paint into an Energy Saving, Thermal Blocking Coating that anyone can apply.
Using technology developed by NASA in the 1950′s to maintain astronauts temperature inside their space suits on space walks, this revolutionary radiant barrier paint additive is an inexpensive and easy-to-use radiant barrier material now available to the general public.
KOOLCOAT’s non-toxic, chemically stable ceramic microspheres ( glass bubbles) mixed with any paint can effectively block up to 97% of harmful UV Rays. KOOLCOAT can be applied to the exterior and interior of your building to PROTECT it from the radiant heat of the sun. The increased radiant barrier properties of Koolcoat lowers energy bills and, as an added bonus, KOOLCOAT insulates from sound as well!
In the 1980’s, two chemists, Rohm and Haas, working with 3M Company developed a paint that would have similar insulating values to the Space Shuttle’s ceramic coatings. Many of the same engineers that worked on the Space Shuttle technology were consulted to develop this paint. The final product has been sold and applied in Europe since the late 80’s.
This super paint is a flexible acrylic based paint mixed with a blended formula of ceramics. These bubbles act as an efficient insulator. The bubbles are over sixty percent vacuum. Each bubble acts as a closed cell and in an applied coating (paint) creates a thermal reflective layer which reflects over 90% of the infrared heat radiation. Reflection of heat protects structures from wide temperature fluctuations, thereby reducing the thermal load to the structure. As the thermal load is lowered, air conditioners run more efficiently thus lowering energy costs.
