Pirta™ Cooling Paint

High-performance Solar Cooling Paint.

Pirta™ Cooling Paint

Designed for the most intense climates, Pirta Cooling Paint combines an environmentally friendly, water-based design with optimal cooling performance. It offers exceptional durability and hide with a finish that resists mildew, stains and rust.

Key Features & Benefits

Temperature Reduction. Pirta’s formula reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat than traditional materials, significantly lowering surface temperatures.
Energy Savings. Reduces high air conditioning / cooling cost when applied to roofs and other exterior surfaces. Especially during peak summer months.
Environmentally Friendly. Pirta’s formula is low-VOC (less than 100g/L US Limit), low-odor and water-based.
Durable. Resists dirt, mold, mildew and pollution to increase longevity and reduce surface maintenance. Durability tested for a 3-5 year lifespan.
Flexible Applications. Good for adhesion to asphalt, PVC, metal and other common roofing substrates when used with Pirta Primer.

Surface Preparation

Surface should be free of oil, grease, loose material and should be clean and dry. Before painting , surfaces should be primed with a high white primer to achieve best results. Not preparing and priming the surface, prior to painting will affect the benefit you would otherwise get with this product. We recommend Pirta Primer as it has been specially formulated to work with this formula and give you the best results.

Cleanup Information

Clean spills and spatters immediately with soap and warm water. Clean hands and tools immediately after use with soap and warm water. After cleaning, flush spray equipment with compliant clean-up solvent to prevent rusting of the equipment. Follow manufacturer's safety recommendations when using solvents.
