 Solar reflection and degradation

7
Solar Energy
Heat build-up

 The sun provides energy which can be harvested by solar panels and converted to electricity
 In places, daily insolation can reach 7.5 kilowatt hours per square metre
 Unless this energy is reflected, it can contribute to:
► Discomfort
► Air conditioning costs
► Urban heat islands
► Global warming
► Smog
► Surface deterioration

Solar Reflectance
Heat build-up

Solar Radiation and Heat build-up

 It’s not unusual for the sun’s radiation

to reach 1000 W/m2

 A solar reflectance of 60 % means 600 W of

the 1000 W would be reflected into space
and 400 W would be absorbed to heat the
surface, the neighbourhood and the planet

 As a rule of thumb, a 10 % solar reflectance

increase can equate to a surface
temperature reduction of 5 oC

ALTIRIS® infrared reflecting pigments
Managing reflectance to improve product durability

Sunlight is made up of three parts:

UV
 Makes up the smallest part of the spectrum
Solar Spectrum
 Can cause system to break-down and ‘chalking’
or gloss loss can occur (photodegradation)
 Well known methods using UV absorbers both
organic and in-organic to control degradation

Visible
 Less than 50% is the visible part we see
 Causes some heating of the polymer which can
cause warping, micro cracking or embrittlement
(thermal degradation)

Infrared
 Over half the sun’s power is in the infrared
 Invisible but is the cause of the heating problem

ALTIRIS® - solar spectrum and durability
Managing reflectance to improve product durability

Energy absorbed from the sun causes:

1) Photo degradation 2) Thermal degradation

Direct and indirect effect of free radicals Temperature affecting the physical and
destroying organic materials chemical structure of a material

Depolymerization • Reduce mechanical integrity

Migration of species • Embrittlement

Stress cycles • Micro cracking

Maximising solar reflectance is key to enhanced performance

in both white and colored exterior systems

ALTIRIS® infrared reflecting pigments
Engineered for maximum impact

Dense silica shell

 Ensures that ALTIRIS®
pigment has high durability

Large titanium
dioxide particle Alumina coating
 Optimised to reflect
 Facilitates excellent
near infrared energy
dispersion
helping keep system
cooler
 Has low tint strength
and therefore can be
used to improve the
infrared reflectance
of colored systems
unlike standard
titanium dioxide

Pigmentary TiO2 versus ALTIRIS®

Pigmentary TiO2 ALTIRIS®

Designed to scatter visible light – surface Effect TiO2 designed to reflect in Infrared
looks white spectrum (heat) and less visible light (low opacity)

14 Illustrative purposes only – optimum wavelength scattering for the crystal size distribution. Actual scattering for a given crystal size is much wider
