SPECIAL FEATURES

• Radiative Cooling: Kryocote emits absorbed heat as infrared radiation in a specific wavelength, bypassing atmospheric absorption and providing cooling even in direct sunlight.
• High Reflectance: Contains highly reflective pigments to minimize heat absorption in the visible spectrum.
• Durable and Weather-Resistant: Formulated to withstand harsh environmental conditions without degrading.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for various surfaces, such as building exteriors, vehicles, and equipment, reducing overall heat retention.

STRENGTHS

• Sub-Ambient Cooling: Capable of reducing surface temperatures below ambient air temperature in full sunlight, providing passive cooling for structures or equipment.
• Energy Efficiency: Lowers the energy load required for cooling systems in buildings and vehicles, supporting sustainable energy usage.
• Longevity: Designed to resist wear from environmental exposure, maintaining its cooling properties over time.

WEAKNESSES

• Reduced Effectiveness in Low Light: Cooling capacity is minimized in shaded or nighttime conditions.
• Requires Specialized Application: For optimal cooling, Kryocote needs precise application, often requiring professional installation.

DESCRIPTION
Kryocote is an innovative cooling paint developed to passively cool surfaces exposed to intense sunlight. Formulated with a blend of specialized infrared-emitting pigments and durable resins, Kryocote reflects visible light to minimize heat absorption while emitting absorbed thermal energy as infrared radiation. This unique wavelength bypasses atmospheric absorption, allowing Kryocote-coated surfaces to reach temperatures lower than the surrounding air, effectively reducing the heat load on structures and equipment.

Designed for versatile application, Kryocote can be applied on building exteriors, vehicles, and equipment to reduce heat retention and support energy efficiency. Its effectiveness is maximized in direct sunlight but is limited under low-light conditions. The paint is highly durable and weather-resistant, making it suitable for various climates.
