Reflect-Tec

The TEX•COTE® REFLECT-TEC® Coating System is a revolutionary, field applied, infrared heat-reflective coating specifically designed for metal and tile roof and wall surfaces. REFLECT-TEC® combines industry leading Kynar Aquatec® technology with patented heat-reflective technology, making it a superior one-component coating. Heat-Reflective roof coating utilizes infrared heat-reflective technology and state of the art Kynar Aquatec® Fluorpolymer technology, under license from Arkema, Inc., to create a water-based field-applied coating with increased solar reflectance and resistance to dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants. This special formulation allows REFLECT-TEC® to reflect infrared heat back in to the atmosphere. Since the infrared portion of the light spectrum is invisible, REFLECT-TEC® can provide lower surface temperatures without changing color.

On a hot day, the sun can beat down on the roof of your home, and your home can absorb as much as 90% of the radiant energy (or heat)! Even white roofs can absorb significant radiation, especially if they have any dirt, mold, or mildew build-up. All that heat makes the inside of your home hot and uncomfortable. Running air conditioning to cool your home can be extremely expensive.

In fact, a central air conditioning system uses about 3500 watts, or 3.5kWh every hour. In some areas of the country, cooling even a moderate size house requires over 1500 hours of air conditioning operation per year. Now, the REFLECT-TEC® heat-reflective roof coating system can make your home more comfortable while reducing peak cooling load demands and saving energy.*
