We no longer stock this product, but can recommend Coo-Var Solar Reflective Paint Aluminium as a great alternative.

Bradite Solar Reflective Bitumen is a gloss coating intended for substrates which are dry and free of contamination. It works by furnishing a tough hard-wearing film over the substrate that provides excellent water repellency. Silver in colour, the coating offers solar reflective properties on:

• Steel
• Non-ferrous metals
• Concrete
• Brick
• Asphalt
• Felt roofing

With the exception of fish ponds and drinking water, this coating is ideal for water immersion systems, such as water storage, and many a usage within industrious environments can be found with this in mind.

Manufactured under the auspices of an ISO 9001:2008 quality & ISO 14001:2004 environmental management systems.

If you don't require the solar reflective component, you can choose the black version, please see Bradite Bitumen Coat/Finish (BB58)
