Product Showcase
Solacoat Heat Reflective Coatings from Coolshield International
Product/Service Name
Solacoat Insulating Coatings offer unique heat reduction properties for residential and commercial applications.
What is Solacoat
Solacoat is a waterborne acrylic emulsion based product, which has a special membrane additive that aids in rejecting infra red rays.
Solacoat will, on a typical summers day, give up to 80%+ rejection of solar radiation. Tests have shown that the surface temperature of galvanised iron can be reduced by over 40°C resulting in a drop of up to 20°C within a building, creating comfortable working conditions.
How does Solacoat work?
Solacoat stops the heat from entering a building. Conventional insulations such as fibreglass or wool batts only slow the rate of heat transfer, allowing heat to build up in the ceilings and walls during the day, and helping to seal the heat in at night.

Solacoat's Environmental and Heat Reduction Features
For a house roof of 150 sq.metres, Solacoat reduces the heat absorption of a green colourbond roof from 39 kilowatts to under 4 kilowatts. This can result in a saving of around $450 by reduced air cooling costs during summer.
By using Solacoat on your roof, the resulting savings from power generation, will result in a reduction of 4 tonnes in the amount of carbon dioxide Greenhouse Gas going into the atmosphere.
Solacoat's Durability
Solacoat has good architectural appearance as well as durability, waterproofing and covering properties. It provides an excellent protective coating in lieu of standard paint finishing coat.
