Problem
Conventional cooling systems consume significant energy and often rely on hydrofluorocarbons, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and increased operational costs. Traditional methods lack sustainable, energy-free alternatives for maintaining lower surface temperatures in various applications.
Solution
ChillSkyn offers PolyFrost, a passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) coating that spontaneously cools surfaces by reflecting solar radiation and emitting infrared heat. This nanostructured polymer coating requires zero energy input and cools surfaces by an average of 6°C below ambient temperature during peak hours. PolyFrost is hydrophobic, UV resistant, and applicable to various materials, including metals, fabrics, plastics, and wood. The coating provides an eco-friendly solution that reduces energy expenses and eliminates the need for traditional, energy-intensive cooling systems.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries focused on transport, building envelopes, mobile shelters, and utility enclosures, as well as organizations seeking sustainable cooling solutions to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
