India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast that most parts of the country are expected to face above-normal maximum temperatures during the March to May period. And number of heatwave days are also expected to increase, especially across central India, northern parts of southern India, and regions in the northwest and east. This means sweat discomfort and frustration days are ahead, and if your home or workplace isn’t ready, the heat can take a serious toll on your comfort, energy bills, and even your health.
You and your family are not supposed to face this kind of summer unprepared—because summers are for spending quality time with your loved ones, sharing laughs, and enjoying mangoes, not sweating it out under a roof that feels like an oven
So, this summer, don’t suffer—Protect your space with Multichem’s advanced heat reflective coatings and bring down the temperature, literally and figuratively. Whether you’re dealing with scorching afternoons or humid evenings, our coatings are here to offer you the peace of mind you deserve.
What are Heat Reflective Coatings?
Heat reflective coatings are specially formulated surface coatings designed to reflect a significant portion of the sun’s infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) rays, rather than absorbing them. These coatings help reduce heat buildup on surfaces like roofs, walls, and pavements, keeping structures cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.
Solar rays consist of approximately 5% ultraviolet (UV) rays, 43% visible light, and 52% infrared (IR) radiation. While UV rays can degrade surfaces, the IR component is mainly responsible for heat buildup, making it a key focus in heat-reflective technologies. Dark surfaces absorb most of this energy, while light colors, especially white—reflect a significant portion of visible and infrared light, helping to reduce heat buildup.
An ideal Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) value for heat-reflective coatings is typically above 80. Higher SRI values (closer to 100) indicate better performance in reflecting solar radiation and emitting absorbed heat, making surfaces significantly cooler compared to those with low SRI values.
Why Choose Solar Heat Reflective Coatings?
· Eco-Friendly & Economical Our solar-reflective coatings are environmentally responsible and cost-effective. With no servicing or maintenance required, it’s a truly hassle-free, long-term solution.
· One-Time Solution for Heat and Monsoon These coatings not only reflect solar radiation, reducing heat absorption, but also serve as a protective barrier during monsoons. Their water-resistant and flexible properties prevent seepage and protect your roofing system from water-related damage, obviously being one intelligent solution for two seasonal problems.
· Air Conditioner vs. Coating – What’s the Smarter Choice? While air conditioners might offer temporary relief, it comes with its own cost of higher electricity bills that strain your budget, an increased carbon footprint that impacts the environment, and overburdened appliances that wear out faster. On the other hand, heat reflective coatings keeps interiors significantly cooler without consuming energy.
· Ideal for Homes & Industries Whether it’s a bungalow or a factory roof, these heat reflective coatings works effectively across various structures, helping maintain a cooler interior and extending the life of your roofing system.
Solar heat reflective coatings, HEATSHIELD COOLPRO are engineered using advanced polymer technology for excellent UV resistance and long-term durability. They are easy to apply, compatible with brush, roller, or spray application, and come in aesthetic finishes to enhance your property’s appearance. The coatings also reduce thermal expansion and contraction cycles, helping to prevent structural fatigue, cracking and frequent maintenance. What makes these heat reflective coatings even more valuable is that, you’ll start noticing the difference in room temperature and energy consumption almost immediately. These coatings are resistant to algae and mildew, further reducing maintenance during the monsoon season. Hence, we can conclude that it is not just a coating but an intelligent investment for your roof protection.
Now enjoy your ice creams and forget the rising bills, because Multichem has your roofs covered. Apart from HEATSHIELD COOLPRO, we offer other roof protection through our products Roofmate, Roofshield, Rainshield and Superflex- delivering superior resistance to heat, weather and abrasion, shielding your roofs from leaks, cracks, and water damage. These coatings also act as a reliable monsoon leak prevention layer. So, when the rain clouds roll in, you’ll be equally protected.
Why wait for the next heatwave or downpour to take action? Invest in a solution that gives you comfort, protection, and peace of mind—all in one coat.
