Reduce heat buildup while maintaining long-lasting color.
Infrared reflective coatings, also known as cool coatings, are engineered to reflect near-infrared (NIR) radiation from sunlight, helping lower surface temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Selecting pigments with high NIR reflectance is essential for achieving both thermal performance and long-term durability.
Fineland Chem supplies high-quality inorganic pigments suitable for infrared reflective coating systems used in construction, transportation, industrial equipment, and infrastructure.
Visible color represents only a small portion of solar energy. Nearly half of the sun’s energy lies within the near-infrared spectrum.
Conventional dark pigments absorb infrared radiation and significantly increase surface temperatures. Infrared reflective pigments are specifically designed to reflect NIR wavelengths while maintaining the desired visible appearance.
Benefits include:
✔ Lower surface temperatures
✔ Reduced cooling energy consumption
✔ Improved coating durability
✔ Enhanced UV and weather resistance
✔ Longer service life for coated substrates
✔ Better thermal comfort for buildings and equipment
