Low-Contamination High Thermal Energy Reflectance Fluoropolymer Coating  (High Solar Reflectance Paint)

Technology / Service Summary

Applied on roofs and exterior walls, it efficiently reflects sunlight and suppress increase in surface temperature, reducing air conditioning lords as well as CO2 emissions.

Purpose

Bonflon Sun Barrier®, high solar reflectance paint developed by AGC Coat-Tech Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of AGC Inc. Group, is a next-generation energy saving coating that combines infrared reflective pigment and fluoropolymer paint.

Feature

When applied on roofs, rooftop, and exterior walls, it helps lower electricity bills, saves energy, and mitigates the heat-island effect.

Effect

The solar reflectivity rises to 18% before the sun barrier is installed on the roof, but 60% after construction.
