So, we decided to paint the top of our smoking-hot black Cherokee white to see if we could cool the inside down a bit. We ended up using under $40 worth of paint and materials, and it took us less ...

The paint reflects 98.1% of solar radiation while also emitting infrared heat. How soon until it's on the shelves at a major retailer? The paint is intended to be used on roofs, including roofing ...

Nissan's paint was developed with Radi-Cool of China, which developed a film, fabric and coating that cut heat. Radi-Cool works with various other Japanese companies, offering cooler-feeling hats ...

The paint’s porous structure holds water and slowly releases it, like the body does sweat. It reflects 88 to 92 percent of sunlight, even when wet, and emits up to 95 percent of the heat it absorbs.

But these “cool paint” technologies are new, so it’s not yet clear how much they can make a difference when it comes to our actual experience of heat.

The paint reflects 95.5% of sunlight and "can keep surfaces up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their ambient surroundings," said Purdue in a statement this week.

A Nanyang Technological University real-world study has shown that the use of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians feel up to 1.5º Celsius (2.7º F) cooler, making the urban area ...

Nissan showed Aug. 6 what it called a “cool paint” to keep people inside vehicles cooler, although the coating is six times thicker, making commercialization still a challenge.

The cool paint lowered the cars’ roof-panel temperature by 12 degrees Celsius (22 degrees Fahrenheit) and the interiors by 5 C (9 F), according to Nissan. Cooling materials already are widely ...
