New Coatings With Specific Properties in the Near and the Far Infrared
This new interior wall paint has been designed to reflect heat radiation at temperatures that occur in our homes. In the summer, when the heat is coming from the outside, it will not emit as much heat into the rooms like regular interior wall paint. So this paint will have a positive influence on the thermal comfort in a home and on the yearly energy bill.
Another paint will be introduced into the market very soon, which is an exterior paint designed to reflect energy coming from the sun, even when it is tinted in darker colours. It is about time to take a closer look at the physics behind these new paints before too much confusion is generated by misunderstanding or wrong interpretation of the physics.
