Alesta® Cool

Black as cool as white


Each colour reflects heat differently. Alesta® Cool enhances infrared reflection, reducing the temperature of the painted surface. This technical innovation reduces heat transfer, lowering mechanical stress acting on the metal and thus improving colour stability, gloss and the film’s mechanical properties.

Alesta® Cool formulations can reduce the surface temperature up to 20%.
Some dark colours are available in Alesta® Cool quality in high gloss,
semi-gloss and matt appearance.

Usage

Architecture and construction, such as roofs, cladding panels, sunblinds, outdoor furniture, etc.

Can also be used in the transportation industry where reducing heat does make sense, like for animal transportation trailers and agricultural machinery
