What product represents the best the capabilities of Jotun in Malaysia?
For the time being we focus on the heat reflector paint, which is not used offshore yet. It is based on technology developed for pigments in Norway and in cooperation with local labs, through which we can decrease the surface temperature of buildings. When the sun is shining, the paint reflects the heat back which has two positive impacts. First of all it contributes to decrease the heat island effect; when there is a concentration of buildings, temperature can increase by three to four degrees compared to the outskirts, because all the material used on the buildings (e.g. asphalt) absorb the heat. The second factor is that by reducing the temperature on the surface of the buildings, we are able to decrease the temperature inside the office by four to five degrees, hence becoming more energy efficient. In that way everyone can reduce costs in terms of energy, and fighting global warming. It is a small example of Jotun’s contribution towards creating a better world. What could be Jotun’
