Functional Paint Additive to Prolong Solar Reflectance

Technology Overview

Solar reflective paints are widely used on exterior walls to reduce interior temperature of buildings, save energy costs, and decrease the carbon footprint. However, dirt accumulation reduces their efficiency and lifespan. To address this issue, a novel functional additive has been developed. The dirt pick-up resistance (DPUR) improves when the resulting additive is incorporated into a paint post-production. This enhances overall longevity and effectiveness, while maintaining paint properties like consistency and opacity.

Technology Features

  • The functional additive seamlessly mixes with normal paint via post-addition, preserving essential properties like consistency and opacity

  • Offers commercial solar reflective paint manufacturers a post-addition route to enhance DPUR properties and extend solar reflectance effects without altering fundamental paint properties

  • Enables manufacturers to improve paint durability and solar reflectance without compromising underlying paint integrity

Potential Applications

  • Interior and exterior wall paints and functional coatings

  • Construction, automotive, and infrastructure

Benefits

  • Unlike typical coating formulations with DPUR properties, the technology introduces a functional additive

  • No reformulation of the existing commercial solar reflective paint

  • Enhances existing commercial solar reflective paints' DPUR and prolonged solar reflectance

Commercialisation

The technology is available for licensing and deployment.
