Developed The World’s Whitest Paint

Thanks to a new success, white paint, which is used especially on ships, airplanes or residences in hot regions, will now be much more efficient due to its high reflectivity of sunlight. Scientists, ‘the whitest paint‘ was able to develop.

The world’s whitest paint, actually this year into the Guinness Book of Records He was able to enter. The scientists at Purdue University, who developed this paint, were able to make the paint much finer. The scientists published their achievements in the journal Cell.

The new paint is much thinner and lighter so it can also be used on airplanes and cars:

• Previous (left) and current (right) whitest paint.

The new paint, developed according to the shared details, has a thickness of only 150 micrometers. Thanks to its fine structure, the paint It succeeds in reflecting 97.9% of the sun’s rays back. Thus, the internal temperature of the area covered by the paint becomes 5-6 degrees lower than the ambient temperature.

On the other hand, the paint, although thinner than its predecessor, saw a decrease in reflectivity. The previous paint, 400 micrometers thick, It had 98.1% reflection success. However, the paint only changes the internal temperature according to the ambient temperature. up to 4.5 degrees could drop it.

However, the new paint is no longer available thanks to its much finer structure. in vehicles where weight is extremely sensitive, such as airplanes can also be used. In addition to airplanes, paint can also appear on clothes, shoes, and even automobiles. The patent application for the paint has just been filed. Therefore, we may have to wait a little longer for the commercial use of the paint.
