Dermacolor Cool Roof

Synthetic high-reflectance paint in water emulsion for bituminous membranes and metal decks

Dermacolo Cool Roof is a high-reflectance synthetic resin-based white paint in water emulsion, which thanks to a special formulation containing special glass microspheres, is used to protect bitumen-polymer waterproofing membranes against uv radiation, significantly lowering the surface temperature (by up to 40°C with respect to a black membrane). This attenuates the urban heat island effect and reduces damage to waterproof systems installed on roofs, giving a considerable energy saving due to reduced use of the air conditioning system of the building. Dermacolo Cool Roof was tested for its solar reflection index (SRI)* obtaining the excellent result of 111 (Test Report No. 399117 issued by the Giordano Institute on 21/10/2022). The SRI index indicates the ability of a material to reflect ultraviolet rays, so that the higher the index the greater the solar rays transmitted by the material will be, meaning that less heat is accumulated and transmitted to the rooms below; tests carried out on the polymer bitumen membrane Casali Dermabit®. Dermacolo Cool Roof may also be used to protect polyurethane foam and as coloured finish for the liquid waterproofing systems Dermacem, Acryroof and Acryroof Plus.
