AkzoNobel's Cool Chemistry® Coil Coating System
Exceptional Durability
COOL CHEMISTRY® is a silicone modified polyester coil coating system that combines the exceptional durability of Akzo Nobel's CERAM-A-STAR® with the cooling power of organic, inorganic, and ceramic pigments. It also provides exceptional long-term exterior weathering performance, long term resistance to chalking and fading, and offers superior resistance to moisture and UV exposure, with excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance.
It features superior color stability, chalk resistance, fade resistance and gloss retention. It is resistant to scratches and abrasions, which is a big bonus during transit, handling, and installation - particularly in hot weather. It also has excellent resistance to smudges, dirt pickup, and atmospheric stain.
Reduced Energy Usage
COOL CHEMISTRY® will help to reduce the energy use associated with cooling a structure. When used on metal roofing, the result is a sustainable building material that can help lower air conditioner costs, reduce peak energy demand, and help to mitigate urban heat island effects.
It is designed to meet Energy Star® guidelines, in addition to other local, regional and federal code requirements for energy efficient building products.
Coatings have been thoroughly tested using both real life conditions and accelerated testing methods to achieve the most comprehensive and reliable results.
