Technology Overview

Union SolarReflect cool roof coatings significantly reduce surface heat absorption by reflecting sunlight rather than absorbing it. These specialized formulations help maintain lower surface temperatures, reducing energy consumption for cooling and extending the service life of coated substrates.

Key Performance Features

Reduced Heat Absorption

By reflecting up to 90% of incoming solar radiation, Union SolarReflect coatings minimize heat buildup on dark surfaces that traditionally absorb thermal energy. This reduced absorption translates to lower surface temperatures and decreased thermal stress on substrates.

Energy Savings

The lower surface temperatures achieved with Union SolarReflect reduce cooling requirements for buildings and electronic enclosures, resulting in significant energy cost savings. This makes them particularly valuable for architectural applications in warm climates and for temperature-sensitive equipment enclosures.

Extended Service Life

By maintaining lower operating temperatures and reducing thermal cycling stress, Union SolarReflect coatings extend the service life of both the coating itself and the underlying substrate. This longevity provides additional value through reduced maintenance and replacement costs.

Environmental Benefits

The energy savings achieved through reduced cooling requirements contribute to lower carbon emissions, while the powder coating application process itself generates minimal waste and contains no VOCs.
