Solasteel Metal Sheet Heat Reflecting Coating was recently awarded the only Gold GAIA Big 5 2008 Award for its innovative excellence and its environmentally friendly characteristics besides its superior performance.
Amongst its many competitive characteristics, Solasteel has been proven to:
- Provide high heat reduction coating and rejects 74.1% of the Suns Solar Rays from the surface) providing much lower heat build-up in buildings. (Based on RAL9002 Coating). Currently existing pre-coated materials reject between 20-60%.
- Eliminate or minimize the need for insulation in Zone 1 Climates.
- Provide longer Gloss Retention than existing pre-coated Solvent based Polyester material. This is due to its water based Acrylic being more resilient to breakdown by UV Rays.
- Lower energy costs in all Climate Zones during the hotter months of the year, thereby reducing the global impact of high energy consumption on the environment.
- Have a guaranteed longer lasting surface coating than existing materials.
- Ensure safer collection of drinking water due to its non hazardous coating (Low VOC).
- Help reduce Environmental Emissions going into the worlds atmosphere during the coating process as it is a Water based Product, versus the very high “Voc solvent based coatings existing in the market today.
- Have a 15 year performance guarantee on surface coating thereby adding a substantial three year extension to the existing materials guarantee of 12 years.
- Have a 30 year Substrate performance guarantee.
- Equally perform as, or outperform high solvent based products in durability tests conducted by leading Coil authorities.
- Be price competitive.
Gold GAIA Big 5 2008 Award Winning Solasteel Heat Reflective Metal Coating is the world’s first commercially available water-based acrylic pre-coated metal for Roofs/Walls and other applications that has significant advantages over current existing pre-coated material that was developed in the UAE through TPI’s partnership with our Australian suppliers CoolShield International.
Solasteel Metal Coating is the world's first commercially available pre-coated water based acrylic metal sheeting for roofs, walls and other applications that has significant advantages over current existing pre-coated material. Named Solasteel in honor of the first successfully tested metal that was coated with this paint, the name should in no way be taken as an indicator that our paint is only compatible with steel. On the contrary, Solasteel has been proven to be successfully and efficiently compatible with a range of metal components such as aluminum, galvanized iron and others. Solasteel helps provide more comfortable working conditions, lower cooling costs and subsequent Greenhouse gas emissions.
This high heat reduction coating provides much lower heat build-up in buildings, University tests show a solar reflectivity of 74.1%. Using Solasteel results in less or no Insulation being required, and it has a longer gloss retention that existing pre-coated solvent based Polyester material.
Solasteel is significantly competitive in that being a water based Acrylic it is more resilient to breakdown by UV Rays and thus lowers Energy costs while being a non hazardous Coating (Low VOC’s) ensures safer collection of drinking water. Competitively priced, it helps reduce Environmental Emissions during the coating process, has a 15-year performance guarantee on surface coating and a 30-year Substrate performance guarantee. Solasteel delivers a longer lasting, safer, more reflective, heat reducing coating than any alternative coil product. Solasteel is certified by EcoSpecifier and its usage adds points towards LEED Building Certificates and Green Star Rating.
It stops the heat at the outside; reduces internal temperatures; reduces air cooling costs and thus reduces greenhouse gas emissions; reduces thermal expansion. It is the most cost effective insulation; and it prevents rust and corrosion.
Solasteel, can be used in the construction of any (not limited to) of the following structures: water, fuel, gas, diesel & petrol storage tanks; houses, garages, sheds, aviaries, kennels; workshops, warehouses, shops, offices; silos, shearing & poultry sheds; buses, trucks, vans, containers; boats, dairies, stables, floats and tanks, roofs, walls, public parks and gardens, sport arenas and stadiums, flower markets, fruit and vegetable markets, fish markets, shopping malls, beach resorts, hotels, storage facilities for food products, gas stations, water treatment plants, bottling plants and many more.
