TECHNICAL DETAILS
Cool Coatings is an application for surfaces to reduce the heat by up to 40%. Used in the US for over 15 years the product is widely used for hot surfaces that are in direct sunlight.
Cool Coatings is an environmentally friendly, low VOC solution for concrete, timber and porous tile surface types.
Three parts make up Cool Coatings. Our technology is one part liquid and one dry component. You require a coloured acrylic paint which is added to the two parts of Cool.
How It Works
Sun - Heats up the surface
Cool Coatings - Pulls heat through concrete dissipating into the ground
Ground - Ambient ground temperature is used like a heat sink
Heat reduction
from 57°C to 38°C
Australian based testing
heat reduction of 35%
COVERAGE: One kit of Cool Coatings mixed with 4 litres of coloured acrylic paint will cover 30-40m2, two applications are required for Cool to be effective. Finished applied ratio is 15-20 m2.
- A 10 year warranty
- Reduce heat by up to 40%
- Excellent slip resistance
- Excellent Adhesion
