Novel Highly Dispersed Transparent Heat Insulation Paint for Glass

A water-based paint with a high coefficient of heat insulation.

Heat insulation glass (A) and ordinary glass (B).

In a project by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), a new kind of highly dispersed transparent heat insulation paints were developed. The raw materials needed for such paints are sourced from the Chinese mainland or self-synthesized.

Through combining the sol-gel process and high-temperature hydrothermal synthesis, TCO-Graphene nanocomposite powders were produced. With our unique nano-dipsersion process, the final product has excellent visible transparency and infrared insulation performance. Compared to existing products, the new paint features better optical properties and much lower production costs.

Special Features and Advantages
• Highly dispersed, transparent and conductive with high shielding rate in infrared radiation
• Water-based with VOC value, formaldehyde content and heavy metal content of less than 20 g/L, 0.03g/L and 0.1mg/Kg respectively

Applications
• Windows, curtain walls and automotive glass, etc
