CLEAR COOL COAT ELASTOMERIC PAINT REDUCES HEAT BUILDUP ON WALL & ROOFS
WHERE IS CLEAR COOL COAT USED?
- Construction & Remodel Projects: Exterior Building Walls, Sloped Roof Surfaces Not Subject To Ponded, Pooled Water (Contact Mfg To Confirm Application If Questions)
- Interior And Exterior Walls
- Painted Metal Roofs
- Painted Metal Handrails
WHY CLEAR COOL COAT?
- Clear protection – allows underlying surface color to be seen (not water clear)
- Reflects Infrared Radiation Using Advanced Ceramic Sphere Technology
- Lower Cooling Costs in the Summer When Applied to Exterior Walls & Roofs
- Cool painted metal surfaces like metal handrails from the hot summer sun
- Lower Heating Costs in the Winter When Applied to Interior Walls
- Superior moisture control performance
- 200% elongation resists cracking
- Great for high mold & mildew environments
- High UV resistance
- Breathable – does not trap moisture
- Apply to 35°F and rising temperature (1.7°C)
- 100% Eco-friendly: low VOC
- 3 Year Material and Labor warranty available
- Cool Coat meets requirements in the Solar Reference Index of material in the LEED 2009 for Construction and Major Renovation (SS Credit 7.1: Heat Island Effect-non Roof pg. 16).

Solar reflectance determines the fraction of the solar radiation incident from all directions that is diffusely reflected by the surface. The higher the solar reflective value the more efficient the product is in reflecting sunlight and heat away from the building and reducing roof and wall temperature. Thermal emittance describes how well the surface radiates energy away from itself as compared with a blackbody operating at the same temperature. In warm and sunny climates highly emissive roof and wall products can help reduce the cooling load on the building by releasing the remaining heat absorbed from the sun Scientists use a number between 0 and 1, or 0% and 100%, to express emittance (the higher the number the more effective the coating). Solar Reflective Index (SRI) SRI is calculated by using the values of solar reflectance, thermal emittance and a medium wind coefficient. The higher the SRI value, the lower its surface temperature and consequently, the heat gain into the building
