Prevents thermal runaway of internal equipment and combats heat islands. Heat-shielding paint SurfCool
SurfCool series is a heat-shielding paint that uses special materials that efficiently reflect sunlight's near-infrared rays (heat rays).
By painting it on roofs, walls, cabinets, etc., it suppresses temperature rise, which is effective in preventing thermal runaway and breakdown of internal equipment. It also reduces electricity consumption for air conditioning, contributing to cost reduction. In addition, painting it on sidewalks and parking lots helps reduce the heat felt by pedestrians and combats the heat island effect.
The new product is Highly reflective heat shielding paint W, a water-based product that contains almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is friendly to both people and the environment. It is also easier to transport and store.

Reflects infrared rays and prevents temperature rise. Highly reflective heat-insulating paint "SurfCool"
Mechanism of thermal insulation paint
SurfCool series is a paint that contains a special material that reflects sunlight in the near-infrared range more efficiently than ordinary paints, thereby suppressing temperature increases on painted surfaces and within structures.
Near infrared rays are most easily absorbed by materials, affecting the molecular motion of the material, which results in the generation of heat. By reflecting this light rather than absorbing it, the generation of heat can be suppressed.
There are also heat-insulating paints that reduce heat conduction as a heat-resistant paint. Heat-insulating paints and heat-insulating paints are similar, but if they are not used properly, they can have the opposite effect.
SurfCool series offers a choice between heat insulation and thermal insulation, allowing us to propose a solution that best suits your facility's conditions.

In the case of SurfCool, it reflects SurfCool rays, preventing the temperature from rising.
Application example for metal box
You can see that the box painted with SurfCool is cooler.

- Excellent workability
- It can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, and can be used according to the item being painted.
- Resistant to metal corrosion
- Since it uses a special undercoat material with excellent corrosion resistance, it can be used safely on outdoor metal equipment.
- Can also provide thermal insulation
- By adding an insulating layer that prevents the temperature inside the building from escaping, it is possible to achieve both heat insulation and thermal insulation. (Please contact us for details.)
Heat shielding properties
The near-infrared rays (wavelength: 780-2500nm) contained in sunlight are most easily absorbed by substances and affect the molecular motion of substances, resulting in heat generation.
Highly reflective (heat shielding) paint reflects near-infrared rays with high efficiency and suppresses heat generation on the coating surface.
