UNStudio and Monopol Colors have created an extremely reflective white paint that can reduce the amount of heat buildings absorb and cool cities in the face of climate change.
UNStudio has partnered with Monopol Colors to develop 'The Coolest White', an ultra-durable paint that protects buildings and urban structures from excessive solar radiation – thus slowing down the urban heat island effect.
The paint is based on fluoropolymer technology. It has long lasting and ultra-durable properties that prolong the lifecycle of the coating up to 30 years. The multilayered coating system was developed for high-quality metallic facade elements and aluminium, steel or fiberglass structures.
The Coolest White provides not only remarkable protection against corrosion, but also achieves a TSR value which sets entirely new standards. (TSR stands for 'Total Solar Reflectance', which, in simplified terms, designates the powers of resistance of a coating to the effects of sunlight.)
UNSProducts and UNSknowledge are currently developing a series of innovative building technology products in order to advance the development of applied technology and future-proof our designs. Our team partner with industry leaders, bringing with them the combination of a product mindset, engineering know-how and a strategic vision for building technologies.
