Stay Cool with Ferro's Innovative Pigments
June 9, 2016

Cool Color pigments from Ferro keep surfaces cooler by reflecting infrared light, reducing energy use while maintaining vibrant colors.

Dark-colored surfaces, such as asphalt driveways, shingled roofs, and black vehicles, face a common issue: they become significantly hotter when exposed to sunlight. This is due to their tendency to absorb substantial amounts of infrared radiation. As a result, a considerable amount of energy is often expended on cooling these surfaces. With the rising emphasis on energy efficiency and cost-effective solutions, addressing this challenge becomes crucial.

Revolutionary Cool Color Pigments by Ferro

Enter Ferro’s innovative Cool Color pigments—a breakthrough designed to tackle the issue of infrared absorption. These advanced pigments remain cooler under the sun, offering an effective solution for reducing undesirable infrared radiation absorption. Ferro’s Cool Color pigments exhibit superior reflectivity in the infrared spectrum while retaining vibrant hues akin to standard pigments.

It's essential to note that being 'cool' doesn’t equate to being 'white'. While traditionally white objects do reflect sunlight efficiently, contemporary design demands a diverse palette, including deep and intense shades. By utilizing Ferro's pigments, you can achieve aesthetically pleasing colors without compromising on thermal efficiency.
