Solar reflective paint is ideal for application to polycarbonate or glass surfaces. It is normally applied to the external side onto the substrate. It can also be applied onto glass.
is a translucent paint which reduces the suns’ heat by as much as 70%. The benefit is still allows a degree of light to pass through from the outside while reducing the heat input dramatically.

It is manually applied by a brush, good quality emulsion roller (not a foam roller) or spray. The customer can decide (by thinning but no more than 10%) how dark or light he wants the coating to be. Thinner required is Xylene. However remember the lighter the coating the less efficient the heat rejection will be. The darker the coating the more heat will be rejected.
Normally a standard application of 2 (non thinned) coats is required. Technical details as follows:-Solar X Reflective Paint Technical Data:
