Sampling drums of ARCTIC infrared-reflective powders

Heat-Reflecting Powders

Shepherd Color Company has introduced the ARCTIC brand of infrared reflective pigments. The powdered pigments are added to paints, plastics, and other materials to give them color. Unlike other products designed to reduce heat build-up, such as "cool" roofs, the color is not limited to white. According to the manufacturer, the ceramic pigments reflect infrared light and thus do not get as hot nor heat up as quickly as conventional materials. They have even introduced an infrared reflective true black pigment.

The manufacturer claims corresponding energy savings while giving consumers a wide selection of roof colors. ARCTIC pigments are incorporated into roofing materials that qualify for an EnergyStar label.
