How does Eco-Transport Coating work?
The thermal barrier coating has two important surface properties: A) high solar reflective rating and B)an equally high thermal emittance rating. Solar reflectance is the percentage of solar energy that is reflected by a surface. Thermal emittance refers to the ability of a material to release absorbed heat. A standard refrigerated trailer roof is made from a sheet of uncoated aluminum covering 2 inches of polyurethane foam. Although aluminum has a good reflectance rating (.71), it has a low emittance rating (9%). This is why on hot afternoon the roof temperature on a refrigerated trailer can reach in excess of 185 degrees effectively transforming the roof into a heat sink transferring heat through the insulation and into the trailer interior. By coating the roof of a refrigerated trailer with Eco-Transport Coating we can change the dynamics of the roof. With the application of Eco-Transport Coating the reflectivity rating increases to .84 from .71, an 18% improvement, and the emittanc
