RD-Sunguard is a single-component, high-performance white coating that reflects sunlight and has self-cleaning properties. It is based on new-generation resins that increase its reflective properties, reduce coating soiling, and naturally lower the temperature inside buildings.
RD-Sunguard can be used on most types of surfaces, including: bituminous roofs, steel roofs, facades, provided that a suitable primer coat is applied first - see systems.
The paint is water-based, easy to use, and safe. Virtually odorless, it does not affect people in painted rooms and can be used in residential buildings. It does not contain any harmful substances.
RD-Sunguard provides long-lasting performance, whether it's energy savings, improved thermal comfort, or reduced heat gain. It is a fast-drying coating system that significantly reduces downtime during application.
RD-Sunguard self-cleaning paint is also available in other colors—please contact us for more information.
By maintaining a lower surface temperature, RD-Sunguard increases the efficiency of photovoltaic panels (especially double-sided panels). A double benefit: cooler rooms and more energy generated.
SR and SRI coefficients for Sunguard – what do they mean?
Test results on Sunguard paint samples exposed to UV radiation for 4,000 hours showed that the paint does not significantly lose its solar reflectance index (SRI) during this period. After 4,000 hours of testing, the SRI value remains at 104.7 ± 3.6.
It should be noted that white roofs should be cleaned at least once a year with a pressure washer to remove any serious dirt that may affect their reflective properties.
The terms "solar reflectance index" (SRI) and "solar reflectance" (SR) refer to the interaction of a surface with solar energy, but they measure different aspects:
In summary, while reflectance is a simple measure of how much solar energy is reflected by a surface, SRI provides a more holistic view of how a surface will behave in terms of heat gain from solar exposure, combining reflectance and emissivity into a single index.
