Energy Guide

touched a white car in the summer and noticed that the surface is as hot as a black car. Typically, this is what
happens when a reflective white coating is say applied on a metal roof or any other external surface, in any
application where solar (sun) heat loading is a problem. Reflective Coatings basically lose performance ability on
even on Visual Light, after a short time, thus the building heats up significantly, even though it has a white reflective
coating or membrane applied on it.
Heat Blocking (Sunshield)
Sunshield is more than a mere white reflective coating. Yes, Sunshield is white in color and does
reflect some, but there is significantly more with Sunshield. Sunshield is designed to impact all three
(3) way that Solar (Sun) heat loads, not just one. Sunshield blocks and reflects all three forms of
solar heat loading (Infrared, Visual Light and UV). Sunshield is part of a unique Ceramic Spray on
Insulation Technology platform, where on the lower end of the technology platform, we have
Sunshield, which was specifically designed to minimize / block Solar (Sun) heat from loading. And,
on the higher end of the technology platform is a product called HPC which is used to insulate heated
assets (Steam lines, tanks, boilers, heat exchangers, etc..) with internal operating temperatures up
to 1200F. No other Spray On Insulation Technology Platform can even begin to come close to this
range of performance. White paint certainly cannot scale up to insulate 1200F surfaces, and
reflective coatings that depend only on their ability to reflect while clean cannot provide this range of
performance either as a technology platform. All of our spray on insulation products uses very
specific nano sized ceramic particles that lack the density to easily load heat. For example, if you
went outside on a 90F degree day and picked up a piece of paper, the paper will always be physically
cool to the touch and at an ambient temperature because, the paper lacks the physical density to
load and hold the heat. The specific nano materials used in Sunshield’s formula are 50 times lighter
than paper and thus, like a piece of paper, lack the physical density to easily load solar (sun heat).
Loading is the first step in heat transfer. If a product can significantly control the amount of heat
energy that loads, then you are able to reduce the amount of heat energy that is available to transfer
to the cooler side, or say into your house, building, equipment, ect.. The Second Law of
thermodynamics states that “Heat moves to cold if it is not blocked or redirected” and that’s
the point. Sunshield is designed to prevent the amount of Solar (Sun) heat available to load. So,
when applied for example, to a metal, asphalt, or even a concrete roof, once dried, you can go
outside and sunbathe on a metal roof painted with Sunshield because, the surface of the roof once
painted with Sunshield, will be at or near ambient temperature, even on bare metal structures.
Likewise, previously we mentioned that a new white highly reflective painted idle metal car is initially
cooler than a new painted idle black car, but as time goes by the white car becomes just as hot on
the surface as the black car. Why, because once it cannot effectively reflect Visual light, there is a
problem. In this same example, if the idle metal car was painted with Sunshield, it will remain cool
to the touch and at a near ambient temperature, when it is hot outside, because the nano particles
used in Sunshield formula are very low in density and like a piece of paper, cannot easily load & hold
Solar ( Sun) heat. It only takes a small application of Sunshield say on a metal surface for you to
prove o yourself, that Sunshield is more than just a reflective coating. I suggest trying Sunshield on
a metal surface if you need further validation, because metal conducts heat and everyone knows
you can’t fake it on metal. Try Sunshield instead of white paint or reflective coatings and membrane
products that depend only on their ability to reflect sun heat, when they are clean and shiny white,
which is not real world, because as previously mentioned, external surfaces always get dirty.
Sunshield will work even when dirty
