This New Super-White Paint Can Cool Down Buildings and Cars – Interesting Engineering
A novel super-white paint may be the creative solution needed to fight global warming. Read the article to learn how that might be.
Summer! It’s a wonderful time but a hot one! Indeed, most would argue that you cannot survive summer without some good air conditioning. But what if your buildings or cars never heated up?
Purdue University engineers have developed a white paint that can keep all surfaces cool — specifically, up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit (-7.778°C) cooler than their ambient surroundings. Moreover, the “super-white” paint reflects 95.5% sunlight and efficiently radiates infrared heat.
