How it works

Control heat before it moves inward.

REOX™ manages solar energy at the exposed surface through reflection, radiative release, and a coordinated coating build.

A surface-level energy strategy.

The goal is not to replace insulation or mechanical cooling. It is to reduce the solar heat absorbed at the exterior and improve how the surface releases heat.

Interactive thermal model

REOX™ radiative cooling system

The coating reflects a high share of solar energy and supports heat release through the 8-13 µm atmospheric window.

01

Solar reflection reduces energy absorbed by the surface.

02

Radiative release sends absorbed heat toward the sky.

03

Lower transfer reduces the heat available to move inward.

Three mechanisms work together.

Each mechanism addresses a different part of the heat path. The installed result depends on the complete coating system and project conditions.

Incoming solar energy

Reflect more before the surface heats.

High solar reflectance reduces the share of UV, visible, and infrared energy absorbed by the coated surface.

Solar spectrum: 200-2500 nm
Absorbed surface heat

Release heat toward the sky.

The functional layer supports thermal emission within the atmospheric window, including the 8-13 µm band.

Underlying assembly

Reduce the heat available to transfer.

With less heat retained at the surface, less is available to move into the roof, wall, equipment housing, or asset below.

Built as a complete coating system.

The primer, functional layer, and topcoat are selected as one configuration. Substituting a layer can change adhesion, film build, durability, and thermal performance.

01

Protective topcoat

Helps manage water, contamination, UV exposure, and the service conditions defined for the selected REOX™ system.

02

Rare-earth functional layer

Reflects a high share of incoming solar energy and supports thermal emission within the 8-13 µm atmospheric window.

03

Substrate-specific primer

Builds adhesion and supports the required system architecture for concrete, metal, or compatible flexible surfaces.

04

Prepared substrate

The existing surface, condition, moisture, corrosion, movement, and prior coatings define the starting point.

Specification starts with the surface

Match the system to the substrate and exposure.
