Heat exchange paint is primarily a "functional paint," so its durability against strong external pressures and impacts, like those from materials used for road markings, is not particularly high. Therefore, when considering its use, we recommend applying it in areas such as parking lots and sidewalks. Assuming a shopping mall parking lot with very high vehicle flow at low speeds for 7 years, it can be predicted that it would last about 10 years in residential parking lots, apartment complex parking lots, school zones, and similar roads, barring any significant issues.

To prevent heat intrusion from windows and enhance insulation effectiveness, options such as double glazing and high-performance glass can be considered; however, these solutions involve constructive modifications. Thermo mesh and thermo screens can suppress solar radiation and radiant heat, making it possible to lower indoor temperatures by about 3°C to 5°C without any structural alterations. Additionally, if the indoor temperature drops by 3°C compared to conventional levels, it is equivalent to lowering the air conditioning set temperature by 3°C, theoretically resulting in a 30% to 40% reduction in cooling power consumption. 【Comparison Before and After Painting (Annual)】 ■ Electricity Consumption ・Before Painting: 500,000 kWh / After Painting: 426,700 kWh / Difference: -73,300 kWh ■ Crude Oil Amount (Converted) ・Before Painting: 128,500 L / After Painting: 109,662 L / Difference: -18,838 L *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the cool tile roof "Thermo Roof," which is eligible for carbon offset, installed at a newly constructed nursery. Due to its narrow temperature variation, it has the characteristic of gradual deterioration of the coating. Additionally, because it is hydrophilic, minor dirt can be washed away by rain. In the case of typical heat-reflective coatings, they work by reflecting sunlight, so if the surface is dirty or the coating has deteriorated, the heat insulation effect is naturally reduced. On the other hand, heat exchange coatings have the property of processing heat through the coating itself without relying on reflection, so they can still be effective even if they are somewhat dirty or on days without sunlight. [Case Overview] ■ Installation Location: Newly constructed nursery ■ Product Used: Thermo Roof A Marigold [Custom Color] ■ Installation Effect: Almost no chalking occurs *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the cool tile roof "Thermo Roof," which is eligible for carbon offset, installed in a newly built private residence. By using materials that do not easily increase in surface temperature for the roofing, we mitigate the heat transmitted from the roof to the indoors. Typical heat-reflective coatings work by literally reflecting sunlight to suppress the heat that enters indoors, which is why they often use white or light colors that reflect light. When measured at the same time with an outside temperature of 26°C, the typical tiles reached 61.4°C, while the Thermo Roof reached 50.4°C, resulting in a temperature difference of about 11°C. [Case Overview] ■ Installation Location: Newly built private residence ■ Product Used: Thermo Roof F, smoked gray ■ Installation Effect: A temperature difference of about 11°C was observed with tiles *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where "heat exchange paint," which is eligible for carbon offset, was applied to a chemical factory product storage tank. Previously, insulation material made of styrofoam was wrapped around the tank to suppress temperature rise inside the tank and degradation due to ultraviolet rays. The factory is located in a high-temperature area, and the ceiling height is low, resulting in significant heat transfer from the roof. It is preferable for the inside of the tank to be unaffected by external temperatures, so during repairs, the application of heat-insulating paint was also considered. However, upon learning that the effectiveness of heat-insulating paint has been questioned recently, heat exchange paint was adopted. The base material "CCP117" has high permeability and is suitable for FRP repairs due to its epoxy-based primer. 【Case Overview】 ■ Location: Chemical factory product storage tank ■ Products used: CCP117, D-42 Gray ■ Construction effect: A temperature difference of 4 to 5°C compared to adjacent unpainted tanks *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is an introduction to a case where "heat exchange paint," which is eligible for carbon offset, was applied to a transportation company's prefabricated office. In buildings where the roof and indoor space are structurally very close, the temperature of the roof surface can significantly affect the indoor environment. Particularly when using metal roofing materials, if sufficient insulation performance is not provided, the environment can be far from comfortable in both summer and winter. In this office, the air conditioning is operated with a minimum setting of just over 19°C during the summer. For metal roofs, the surface temperature can rise above 80°C in summer, but by applying heat exchange paint, it is possible to reduce it to around 65°C. After the application, the indoor space became sufficiently comfortable at a setting of 24°C, and users have expressed their satisfaction with the noticeable effects. [Case Overview] - Location: Transportation company prefabricated office - Product used: CCP117・D-54 Gray - Effect of application: The indoor space became sufficiently comfortable at a setting of 24°C *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
