Keva Energy Saving Paint reduces the heat loading into a structure & reduces energy bills by up to 40% and reduces the temperature by up to 10˚ C in hot weather.
Keva Industries is Developer & Supplier of Innovative insulation solution so it came up with Keva Energy Saving Paint utilizes the very latest in ceramic micro-spheres similar to that used by NASA (USA) for use on the space shuttle tiles.
Keva Energy Saving Paint contains tiny ceramic micro-spheres of 30–100 microns in diameter. The tiny microspheres act as highly efficient thermal barriers, so that when the coating dries, they form a barrier against heat transfer.
NASA technology has now been adopted for use in the domestic and industrial environment. Research and development has led to the production of a light elastomeric liquid solution, which is not only easy to apply to most structures but also capable of reducing the solar loading of very large surfaces in extreme sunlight.
Keva Energy Saving Paint is tested in one of the most prominent laboratory in USA i.e. Geoscience Ltd. for Solar Reflectivity, Infrared Emissivity and Thermal modeling followed with excellent results. As per testing results Infrared Emissivity was notified as 0.90 under room temperature (Measurement method: ASTM E-408 C-1371) and Solar Reflectivity was notified as 0.853 (Avg. 0.87, 0.84 & 0.85) (Measurement method: ASTM E-1918)
The layer is created by the microspheres coming closer together as the coating dries, until they eventually touch each other forming a single, very thin, thermal barrier. This barrier reflects, refracts and dissipates heat, thereby keeping heat in a structure during the cold months and out of the structure during the hot months.
As they are true microspheres, the ceramic particles do not add weight but increase the strength of the coating. This helps to keep down the weight loading on the structure being coated.
