SPRAYABLE COOL WHITE COATING BASED ON CERAMIC MICROSPHERES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18552959 titled 'SPRAYABLE COOL WHITE COATING BASED ON CERAMIC MICROSPHERES
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a sprayable coating solution that is highly reflective across various wavelengths, including UV, visible, and near-infrared. Potassium bromide is used as a binder to incorporate ceramic bubbles, providing both reflectivity and high mid-infrared emissivity for effective surface cooling.
- The coating solution is sprayable and reflective across UV, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths.
- Potassium bromide acts as a binder to integrate microscale ceramic bubbles.
- The coating offers high reflectivity across solar wavelengths and high mid-infrared emissivity for surface cooling.
- Concrete samples treated with the spray coating showed significantly more cooling compared to commercially available white paints.
- The coating even enabled sub-ambient cooling under sunlight.
Potential Applications: 1. Solar panels to enhance energy efficiency. 2. Building exteriors to reduce heat absorption. 3. Automotive coatings for temperature control. 4. Aerospace applications for thermal management.
Problems Solved: 1. Inefficient cooling of surfaces exposed to sunlight. 2. Limited reflectivity across various wavelengths. 3. Lack of a sprayable coating solution with high emissivity.
Benefits: 1. Improved surface cooling in ambient environments. 2. Enhanced energy efficiency for solar applications. 3. Increased durability and longevity of coated surfaces.
Commercial Applications: "Reflective Spray Coating Solution for Enhanced Surface Cooling and Energy Efficiency"

Original Abstract Submitted
A coating solution that is sprayable and reflective across the UV, visible, and near-infrared wavelength ranges is described herein. Potassium bromide is used as a binder to integrate microscale ceramic bubbles. The spray coating not only provides high reflectivity all across the solar wavelengths, but also a high mid-infrared emissivity for effective surface cooling in ambient environments. Tests with concrete samples show that the spray coating allowed for significantly more cooling compared to commercially available white paints and even sub-ambient cooling under sunlight.
