Why Acrylic Coatings?

Cool Acrylic Coatings for Walls

Now, we have the chance to coat our buildings with special coloured coatings, highly reflective, super-durable paint-like material, that reduces building interior and exterior temperatures 10 to 90 degrees depending upon colour comparison, location and original materials being over coated. They have many benefits in the cooling of each building. Longer term savings is another key benefit. Therefore, immediate steps toward reducing global warming are a direct benefit.

The Necessity of Cool Acrylic Coatings for Concrete

Did you know that concrete stores heat from the sun and it heats up our temperature substantially due to its global use? Did you know that it deteriorates slowly to probable failure at some point in its life span? Unless it is coated, it will eventually fail and need repair or replacement due to water deterioration to the reinforcing rebar. As it is now, due to the scale and widespread nature of its use, concrete is a major contributor to the “Urban Heat Island Effect” since not painted concrete acts as a thermal heat sink in all sun exposed locations and “re-radiates” the thermally accumulated sun’s radiation into the atmosphere after the sunset. The overheated air in cities and suburbs adds more air pollution by chemical reactions which occur as the atmospheric temperatures increase. Massive carbon pollution further occurs from generation of the electricity at fuel-burning utility plants supplying the energy to run air conditioners inside millions of such buildings into the night.
