scientists working at Purdue University; after seven years of work, they succeeded in developing the ‘world’s whitest paint’, which helps combat global warming. It was reported that the paint keeps the environment it is in even cooler than an air conditioner.
Located in the US state of Indiana Purdue University’scientists working in to combat global warming the world’s whitest paint ever announced their development.
The world’s whitest paint, sunlight 98.1% reflecting its environment cooler than an air conditioner was recorded.
Developed to reduce global warming:
a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University Culinn Ruan and the white paint that his students developed, ‘the whitest paint ever made’ as the owner of the title Guinness World Records he wrote it in his book.
Professor Ruan stated that the paint was developed by him and his team to ‘help reduce global warming’. energy conservation and climate change paint that helps seven years He said that it was obtained as a result of a working process.
The paint, which was developed in the university laboratory and first emerged from the idea of repelling sunlight from a building; Since it reflects 98.1% of sunlight, emits infrared heat and absorbs less sun heat, a surface coated with this paint does not consume power. below ambient temperature said to be cold.
“Stronger than most home air conditioners”
At the end of the research, the white paint used to completely paint a roof surface of approximately 92 square meters, 10 kilowatts It was discovered that it can provide a cooling power. Professor Ruan on the subject, “This is more powerful than most home air conditioners,” said.
An ordinary white paint, let alone cooling the environment, actually much warmer why is this happening. Paints available in the market 80 to 90%It is known that while reflecting the sunlight, it also causes the surface to heat up more.
The scientists behind the study; the fact that the paint is “the whitest paint in the world” two fundamentals Reason says it is. The first of these two reasons is that it is a chemical substance used in paint, photographic paper and cosmetics industry. barium sulfate use of a very high concentration. The second reason is that barium sulfate is used in paint. different particle sizes to be found. Thanks to the wider size range, the light from the sun makes the spectrum spread even more.
