6 Tested Protective Functions

No promises — proof. Every claim is backed by test reports, standards-based calculations, or documented references.

01

Solar Reflection

93% of solar radiation reflected

The coating reflects 93% of solar radiation. That means 88% less heat gain through opaque building elements — cooler buildings, less stress on surfaces.

Tested Values

TSR (Total Solar Reflectance)
93 %
Solar Absorptance αS
0.07
Standard Reference
ASTM C1549, EN ISO 52016-1
02

Moisture Protection

Rain stays outside

Liquid water — rain, driving rain, splash water — is almost completely prevented from penetrating. The surface stays dry, thermal protection stays stable.

Tested Values

Water Absorption
0.04 – 0.05 kg/(m³·d⁰·⁵)
Classification
W3 (lowest = best)
Standard Reference
EN, DIN 4108-4
03

Vapour Permeability

Moisture can escape

Water vapour from the masonry can continue to escape outward unhindered. The wall dries — no moisture trap, no build-up of dampness.

Tested Values

Sd Value
0.16 – 0.17 m
Classification
SD2 (vapour permeable)
Water Vapour Permeability
120 – 128 g/(m²·d), V1
04

UV Protection

Less thermal stress

The reduction in surface temperature protects underlying materials — render, coatings, wood — from UV-related aging and thermomechanical stress.

Lotus Effect / Self-Cleaning

No algae growth, no mould

The hydrophobic surface prevents algae, moss, and mould from colonising. Rainwater beads off and carries dirt particles with it.

Micro-Crack Bridging

Elastic against hairline cracks

The elastic coating bridges existing hairline cracks and prevents new cracks from becoming moisture entry points.

Test values from independent testing per European standards. Actual values may vary depending on substrate, application thickness, and weather conditions.

Building physics

The radiant share of heat

How much heat travels as radiation depends on the surface — on its emissivity. Two documented reference ranges.

Conventional heating systems

Radiant share · reference values

Ceiling heating> 90 %
Wall heating~ 70 %
Electric infrared40–90 %
Underfloor heating50–70 %
Radiators10–30 %

A system only counts as surface heating above a 50 % radiant share.

Hot industrial pipes up to 200 °C

Radiant share by surface temperature

≈ 50 °C40–50 %
≈ 100 °C45–50 %
≈ 150 °C~ 50 %
≈ 200 °C50–55 %

Calculated reference values at ε ≈ 0.9 (oxidised / painted surfaces) — Stefan–Boltzmann + free convection, not a standard table.

The radiative heat-transfer coefficient hᵣ = 4·σ·T³ grows with the cube of temperature — emissivity is the decisive lever.
