It effectively acts like a sun cream. Solar reflective paint can be silver or white in colour. The solar reflective paint contains pigments designed to reflect the UV rays of the sun. These coatings can dissipate up to 70% of the radiant heat.

In summary, retro reflective paint is made by mixing a clear medium like polyurethane with microscopic glass beads, either silver metalized, or white standard. The beads that are exposed take in and return light back to the source, hence making the paint reflective.

There are many different types of heat reflective paints on the market. Some of the best heat reflective paints are Cool Roof Coatings, Kool-Roof Elastomeric Coating, and Energy Guard Cool Roof Paint. Cool Roof Coatings reflect more sunlight and have higher solar reflectance than traditional roofing materials.

Starglow Reflective Paints are based on a safe, non-toxic water-borne PU formulation and as such, are flexible, hard-wearing and suitable for outdoor or indoor use. Note: These paints do not glow-in-the-dark. however they do reflect brightly when light is shone upon them.
