The Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) is a measure of a roof surface’s ability to reflect sunlight and reduce heat transfer into the building. The SRI of a roof surface is calculated based on its solar reflectance and thermal emittance values. The Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of a roofing material or paint can be calculated using the following formula:

SRI = (100 – T) × (SR + 0.05)^2

Where:

T = the initial (cold) temperature in degrees Celsius of the material after being exposed to the sun for a period of time

SR = the Solar Reflectance, or the amount of solar radiation reflected by the material as a percentage.

To determine the Solar Reflectance of a roofing material or paint, you would typically measure the amount of sunlight that is reflected and absorbed by the material using a spectrophotometer or similar device. You can then use the resulting data to calculate the SR and then use this value to calculate the SRI. It’s important to note that the calculation of SRI is a standard test method defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program and should be performed under controlled laboratory conditions. The SRI value provides a way to compare the relative performance of different roofing materials and paints in terms of their ability to reflect sunlight and reduce heat gain, which can help improve building energy efficiency.

This type of roof coating works by reflecting sunlight and reducing the amount of heat absorbed by a roof. It is formulated with nano-particles that enhance its reflectivity and insulation properties, helping to lower the temperature inside the building and improve energy efficiency.

These paints and coatings are specially designed with Nano Technology, having special pigments of high reflectivity and low emissivity, to reflect more sunlight and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by buildings, which results in lower energy consumption and reduced costs for Air Conditioning and Heating.

Most High Albedo paints and coatings are made with environmentally friendly materials with low VOC and do not contain harmful chemicals StarShield excels in providing Greenpro certified Eco-friendly products to the customers that reduces indoor pollution.

The lifespan of High Albedo paints & coatings is unmatchable with our products as they are modified with Nano technology which enables long term durability

These Paints & Coatings contain special Nano Modified pigments that reflect infrared radiation from the sun. This reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the building which keeps the interior cooler.

They can help reduce energy consumption & cooling costs. Also, their application improves indoor comfort, & reduces the urban heat island effect.

Yes, they can be used on most types of surfaces, including concrete, metal, plastic, and masonry.

High Albedo vary depending on several factors, such as the location, the size of the building, & the surrounding climate. On average, these paints can reduce cooling costs by up to 19.2%.

Yes, these can be used in conjunction with other energy-efficient technologies, such as insulation, windows, & HVAC systems. Combining these technologies can maximize energy savings and improve indoor comfort.

No, these do not require any special maintenance or cleaning beyond what is required for traditional paints as these are dust & dirt-repellent. However, with time they tend to lose their effectiveness due to changes in climatic conditions. Therefore it is suggested to laminate it with Star Paint Shield+ which is hard coating that protects it from variable weather conditions & many more.

Yes, you can apply them over existing paint, but it is important to prepare the surface properly by cleaning & washing it to ensure proper adhesion.

No, StarShield provides a primerless range of High Albedo Paints & Coatings that can be applied without the use of any primer as these paints & coatings are highly adhesive.

There is a significant decrease of 25

They are applied in the usual manner as other paints & coatings, without any space between consecutive coats. Also, you can apply them without Primer, as they make strong adhesive bonding with the substrate.

While comparing, there is not much difference between the costs. But for long-term savings in energy consumption, High Albedo Paints can offset the initial cost.

Yes, StarShield has a setup of dealers, distribution, & warehouses, through which we have a presence in even the remotest part of India.
