Residents of around 1,000 homes in the town of Mustafabad are benefiting from the cooling power of paint after AkzoNobel teamed up with the Akhuwat Foundation to carry out the company’s largest ever “Let’s Colour” project in Pakistan.
With average summer temperatures in the region peaking close to 50 °C, the exteriors of the homes have been painted with Dulux Weathershield. The product features Keep Cool Technology™, which can reduce surface temperatures by up to 5 °C.
