High Albedo Paints

 

High Albedo Paint

Introduction

EXCEL CoolCoat is an elastic, ready to use roof coating. When coated on the roofing materials, reflects sunlight to a greater extent and prevents the roofing materials from getting heated up, even in peak summer afternoons.

The existing scenario suggests that increasing the albedo - or reflectiveness - of a building will reflect incoming sunlight and associated heat, reducing the building’s cooling requirements.

Purpose of high albedo paint

The high albedo paints will always provide a significant reduction in cooling requirements and increased comfort. Those that benefit the most are industrial buildings such as warehouses, airports, shopping centers, factories, and commercial buildings.

Cooler roofs reflect significantly more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional dark-colored roofs. There are two properties that are used to measure the effects of cool roofs: Solar reflectance, also known as albedo, is the ability to reflect sunlight. 

High-albedo white and cool roofing membranes are recognized as a fundamental strategy that dense urban areas can deploy on a large scale, at low cost, to mitigate the heat effect from harsh summers.

How does Excel CoolCoat work

The high albedo coating works on the principle of continuous rejection of UV and IR Rays, the roof itself is not getting heated up. So the air below the roof never gets hot, keeping the rooms cool and comfortable. This prevents the buildings for a longer period, extending the life of the buildings. 

This high albedo paint has the property of long term performance, stable color, low-cost application and maintenance, reduced energy costs, water-based and ultraviolet protection.

Characteristics of high albedo paint

The main characteristic of Excel CoolCoat is a double action technology of heat reflective and insulation coating. It protects the buildings from aging and provides energy savings of up to 25%.

The high albedo paint makes the roof look brighter and also results in cooler rooms and less air-conditioning cost.

Where and how can you use Excel CoolCoat  

The areas of application of this high albedo paint vary from commercial buildings, warehouses to industrial factories. The application process of the coating is highly easy and doable by any local painters in the region.
