A
coating doesn’t have to be white to be cool… As
an Architect, Builder or Homeowner, rich dark colour
is an important part of your building design and decoration.
Unfortunately, dark colours soak up the sun and get hotter
and hotter as the day progresses. As a result, building
temperature and power consumption are increased and greater
demand is placed on our environment and global resources. |
In a world that now demands we be more
energy efficient and recourse conscious, the use of
dark colour, although attractive, created a new design
challenge for our industry to overcome. It would be
the “holy grail” in coating technology,
to achieve a black or deep tone that would reflect
solar heat and stay cool.

The exponential growth
of urban areas has produced what science now calls “urban
heat islands” with the major contributing
factor being heat-absorbing roofing walls and pavements.

As
a result of ongoing research and development into heat
reflective coatings Astec developed a new technology
of colour infused nano ceramics that reflect heat by
selective reflection of infrared light. This technology
has enabled us to offer dark colour exterior coatings
that reflect fully 50% of Solar energy and provide
positive results for our environment and consumers. |
