Keeping Dark-Colored Buildings Cool Solar-reflective colorants make the difference

摘要

Heat build-up not only affects humans who wear dark clothing. The same applies for painted surfaces such as walls, frames and fagades. Yet architects, builders, or homeowners do not want to limit themselves to white or pastel colors to decorate a building. Recent tastes and trends have boosted the demand for dark facade colors. The new solar-reflective colorants from CPS Color provide an answer to this demand: the colorants are beneficial for both materials and users, for instance by reducing the inside temperature, energy costs and thermal stress. The intelligent rnbination of conventional facade colorants with high solar heat-reflection properties make it possible to keep dark fagades cool.
