Hi-Tech hitte reflekterende verf xlht3105

Ons het bogenoemde verf van Vermillian Verf gebruik as gevolg van `n hitte probleem in `n Spar Supermark (1000 vierkante meter) in Molepolole Botswana waar die temperatuur maklik tot 45 grade celcuis gedurende somer maande kan styg. Die resultaat was ongelooflik.

Gedurende die winter maande was die lugversorging baie selde gebruik omdat die verf die dak so afgekoel het.

Evaluation

Purpose: To test and evaluate the heat-reflecting paint as manufactured and supplied by "Vermillian Paint Manufactures"

Test Site: The site chosen was a "Penthouse" apartment situated at 7 New Mountain Road near the top of Linksfield Ridge in Johannesburg.

Climate: This penthouse is subject to wide temperature gradients and severe UVL radiation. The area is subject to electric storms and assosiated high winds and the external temperature can fluctuate from 40 degree (Celcius) to 10 degree and back to 40 degree plus in a short period of time.

Existing Roof Construction: The roof to this apartment consists of roof timber fixed flat to a reverse camber (unusual and in contrast with conventional building practice). These timbers are spaced 250mm apart, 35mm thick covered with corrugated iron resulting in a cross-sectional thickness of not more than 40mm. There are 20mm thick polystyrene panels 230mm wide positioned between the beams. There are large glass view windows to the north, and east elevation and high clerestory windows on the west.

 Thank You for such a graet product Vermillian Paint!
