To ensure optimal adhesion and performance of Coo-Var Solar Reflecting Aluminium Paint, follow these preparation and application guidelines:

• All surfaces must be clean, dry, sound, and free from contaminants such as dirt, grease, or loose paint.
• For existing painted surfaces, thoroughly clean, degrease, and sand to create an adequate "key" for the new coating.
• Remove all loose or flaking paint and treat any exposed or bare areas as new substrates. Prepare these areas accordingly to ensure proper adhesion.

To achieve the best results with Coo-Var Solar Reflecting Aluminum Paint, follow these steps carefully:

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure even consistency and dispersion of aluminum flakes.
• Apply using a brush or roller to achieve an even, smooth coat.
• Ensure the temperature is above 7°C during application, and avoid applying in wet or damp conditions.
• Apply two coats of paint for optimal heat-reflective performance.
• Allow the first coat to dry fully before applying the second coat to ensure a durable finish.
• Drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity, but typically, allow for 1–2 hours for touch-dry and 12–24 hours for a fully cured finish.

Proper preparation and application will ensure long-lasting protection and heat-reduction benefits for your roof or exterior surfaces.

Q. What is Solar Reflecting Aluminum Paint?

A. Solar Reflecting Aluminum Paint is a specially formulated coating that contains aluminum flakes or pigments, designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption. It is commonly used to improve energy efficiency by keeping buildings cooler, especially on roofs and other exterior surfaces.

Q. How does Solar Reflecting Aluminum Paint work?

<>A. The paint works by utilizing aluminum flakes that reflect a significant portion of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation. This prevents the surface from absorbing excessive heat, keeping the underlying structure cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning. It helps improve energy efficiency while extending the lifespan of the roof or surface.
