Monoguard white heat-reflective sheet metal roof paint
Monoguard white paint is a modern, water-based, single-component anti-corrosive paint for metal roofs, which combines effective, long-lasting anti-corrosive protection (even over 25 years) with high solar reflectance.
The paint can be used in harsh industrial and marine environments (C5). Its effectiveness has been proven in tests conducted by the independent COT laboratory (see certificate).
The paint is resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions, maintaining its protection and aesthetic white finish throughout its long service life. The white paint coating reflects solar radiation, reducing roof heating and improving thermal comfort in the building (SRI = 101 - see test report).
Monoguard white paint for metal roofs provides excellent adhesion to various substrates, including steel, galvanized, and coated sheet metal. The flexible structure of the coating compensates for thermal movements of the sheet metal, minimizing the risk of cracking and flaking.
In addition, Monoguard is a paint that is safe for both applicators and the environment. It has very low emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds and meets the requirements of LEED 2009 and LEED v4. It is ideal for renovations on industrial and warehouse facilities as well as residential and public buildings. It is also suitable for use in the food industry (PZH certificate).

The paint can be used in harsh industrial and marine environments (C5). Its effectiveness has been proven in tests conducted by the independent COT laboratory (see certificate).

The white surface of the paint reflects solar radiation, reducing roof heating and improving thermal comfort in the building (SRI = 101 - check the test report).

Outstanding adhesion to various metals. The paint does not require sandblasting of the substrate. Minimal surface preparation (St2 or Sa2) is sufficient.

The paint forms a smooth coating that does not absorb dirt and allows for easy cleaning of the roof, maintaining its aesthetic appearance for many years.
Key properties:
Anti-corrosion properties

, including variable weather and temperature, and UV radiation.
Light-reflecting properties
- energy reflection index SR = 80%,
- high solar reflectance index SRI = 101,
- protects the roof from excessive heat,
allows the roof surface temperature to be limited to 35oC and reduces the temperature inside the rooms, - can be used as a reflective layer
under photovoltaic panels.
Excellent adhesion
- up to 17 MPa / 2500 PSI when
tested in accordance with ISO 4624
(a result significantly exceeding the 7 MPa / 1000 PSI values regularly required by many industry specifications), - ideal anti-corrosion paint for:
- steel (black, galvanized, and stainless),
- cast iron,
- old well-adhering paint coatings
- and many other substrates.
Quick application
- no sanding required,
the substrate only needs to be washed with a pressure washer (St2), - easy and safe to use, water-soluble,
single-component product, - has high flowability, spreads
perfectly and leaves no streaks, - dries quickly,
touch dry in 1-2 hours, recoatable in 1-4 hours, - 2-in-1, primer
and topcoat paint with high covering power.

Salt spray test - resistance to rust development:
After 1440 hours of salt spray testing, Monoguard paint remains intact. Even around the incision, rust does not develop under the paint coating.
By applying 215 micrometers of Monoguard anti-corrosion paint (dry film thickness), we obtain one of the most durable anti-corrosion systems. The expected durability of the system is 15 to 25 years in industrial conditions.
