The document summarizes information about CoolShield, a company that produces Solacoat, a sun-reflective roof coating. Solacoat was invented in 1988 to reduce extreme temperatures in cattle ranches. It is formulated by CoolShield scientists and lowers roof temperatures by 5-15°C, saving up to 33% in energy costs. CoolShield has expanded globally and Solacoat has a 20-year warranty and many industrial and commercial applications.

2. CoolShield – The company
Solacoat was invented by CoolShield founders in Australia in 1988. It was designed to
alleviate extreme daily temperature variances on cattle ranches in the deep desert.
All Solacoat products are formulated by staff scientists.
CoolShield won two prestigious GAIA awards for new environmentally-friendly technology
(gold and silver) in 2008.
CoolShield is now expanding to markets in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

3. CoolShield’s Accreditation
• Coolshield International operates in line with the ISO 9001, ISO
14001 and OHSAS 19001 International Standards.
• Coolshield’s laboratory is accredited by the National Association of

4. Solacoat: What is It?
Is a revolutionary water-based acrylic emulsion that contains a
unique membrane that reflects the sun’s infrared rays.
Lowers temperature within a building by up to 5°C-15°C
A non-hazardous product that limits solar radiation into any facility,
structure, building or home.
Inhibits rust, corrosion and thermal expansions ensuring durability
and superior appearance.

10. Proven Performance
Scientific and Industry Validation
Scientific Testing
“Energy savings due to a reduction in air conditioning load associated with the downward heat flow from the roof are
shown to be as high as 33%.”
-- Prof. John Bell Queensland University, Australia
“The reflectance of the “Solacoat” is considerably higher (about 90%) and rejects most of the incoming solar radiation
whereas the color bond paint has only a reflectance value of 20% (absorbing most of the solar radiation).”
-- Dr. Harry Suehrcke (PhD)
Industry Approval: Big 5 International Building and Construction Show
GAIA awards gold & silver (primer and Solacoat)
The Big 5 GAIA Awards are annual awards for the best green products and services worldwide.

11. GAIA Awards Criteria
1. Fundamental innovation
2. World-leading technology
3. Sector-leading technology
4. Multiple innovative features
5. Benefits to other building systems
6. Human health benefits: no VOCs, non-toxic
7. Energy efficient, fully recyclable
8. Environmental quality: organic, no/low toxicity

12. versus Alternatives
• Alternative products are white paint, ceramic crystal and
glass/ceramic sphere paint additives. Paints normally last 5-7 years.
• Heat-reflective properties of alternative products decline rapidly
after application. Oxidation and weathering reduce reflectivity of
alternative products by at least 30 percent within 3 years
• Solacoat maintains 30 percent savings in energy for at least 15 to 20
years with no deterioration

13. Solacoat Outperforms Alternative Materials
A low bar means low absorption of infra red sun heat

14. Solacoat vs Conventional Products
Solacoat absorbs far
less heat than any
conventional reflective
coating such as white
paint
Pastel colours still give
at least 30 percent
savings
Dark colours save less
than 30 percent
depending on
installation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the effect of the product in winter time when temperature drops?
The product protects against infrared and ultraviolet light causing heating. Should the interior need heating in the winter, then normal conditions will
not change.
Does Solacoat insulate winter heating?
No. Solacoat is not an insulator. The technology is designed specifically to block solar radiation from the outside, and has no impact on blocking heat
energy from the inside.
Is the product recyclable?
Solacoat is non-toxic and has no environmental impact in terms of either VOCs and air pollution or water contamination.
How does the product perform in the Northern Hemisphere?
Solacoat buyers in northern climates are now buying the product and reporting efficiency gains in summer along the same lines as reported from
Australia and Southeast Asia.
Do weather extremes change product performance?
Ice, sleet or snow do not affect Solacoat over its lifetime.
How does Solacoat perform at night?
The product is distinctly effective during daylight hours when heat transference is highest. During the night, the coated surface will continue to cool
as per normal. Internal temperature variances are at minimal and internal temperature is easier and cheaper to control.
