History

Solacoat was developed in Alice Springs, (the centre of Australia), in 1988, where the inventor was a distributor of Solar products to Cattle Stations, Aboriginal Communities and to Northern Territory Government bodies. Heat was a huge problem and nearly all Cattle Stations had galvanized roofing on their buildings. Heat was generated by these roofs affected all aspects of living and increased the load on generators by over 40% in summer. The need for Solacoat was born, and it was developed by extensive trials and testing of various products and additives. The end result was that once Solacoat was applied to most of the roofs and walls of buildings the power load was reduced by more than 30% in summer.

Solacoat Today

Besides maintaining its ever expanding and existing product line, and constantly seeking innovative upgrades to the existing products, TPI has developed, and recently introduced, together with its principals, the Solacoat & Solasteel product lines; a new option to the insulation of its panels. Solacoat, an Australian product, represented by TPI's Australian principles, CoolShield International, is a revolutionary, water-based paint that provides a Radiant Barrier Insulation coating that reduces temperature. 

Solacoat is the most efficient and most cost effective form of heat insulation commercially available today. It is a waterborne acrylic emulsion based product, which has a special membrane additive which aids in rejecting of the infra red rays from the sun. The Solacoat product line includes a comprehensive range of products that cater to a variety of needs and include but are not limited to primers, glossy coatings, cool-it ceram dark range coatings and metal pre-coatings.

How it Works

The award winning SolaCoat is a specially created waterborne acrylic based emulsion that complies with NATA and APAS standards.  It is non-hazardous and has a unique membrane additive that rejects heat from permeating your residential or commercial buildings, protecting your properties and assets for optimal energy efficiency, cost-saving solutions.  It attributes in building an eco-friendly environment.

Certified by EcoSpecifier International, an internationally recognized certification establishment,  as per the LEED’s rating system, the SolaCoat product line is proven to radiate up to 80% of the infrared (heat) rays back into the environment. It is cost effective in that it requires 50 micron thickness applied to any material, and causes the internal temperature to reduce by up to 15°C. Solacoat diminishes green house gas emissions and inhibits rust, corrosion and thermal expansion, ensuring durability. It provides better energy efficiency and reduces air conditioning costs by up to 50% while being non-toxic and environmentally safe and friendly with a 10 year performance guarantee.
