Blackfriar Professional White Solar Reflective Paint reduces solar heat gain, waterproofs and protects roofing.
Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint White is a specially formulated reflective acrylic coating for reducing solar heat gain on tiles, felt, asphalt, wood, masonry and concrete surfaces. Reflective, textured finish, waterproofs and protects, flexible, resists fungal growth, easy to apply, water based, brush or roller application, can be applied to previously painted surfaces.
All surfaces should be clean and free of loose material and contamination. Remove all moss, lichen, fungal growth and other contaminants. Scrape off any loose paint. Surfaces can be slightly damp but they should not be wet. Priming is not necessary.
Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections. Two coats recommended. Blackfriar Professional White Solar Reflective Paint is tough and durable but is not suitable for persistent foot or mechanical traffic. It should be applied between 10°C and 30°C. Avoid applying to very hot substrates such as dark surfaces in direct sunlight. Do not apply if rainfall is imminent or if humidity is very high.
4-8m²/litre per coat. Two coats recommended.
Remove as much product from application equipment as possible before washing with water. Do not empty into drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.

Question: i have spilt a who tin of your solar reflective paint on my patio - yes i know you could not dream it up - whats best method of remoavla if possible |
Answer: If the paint is still wet, scoop up as much paint as you can using a dust pan or similar. Mop up using sand/ sawdust/ rags, avoid spreading the paint further. There will still be some paint impregnated into the surface, at this stage washing with warm water and a scrubbing brush will take it up. Don’t flood the area with water as you will just spread the paint further. If the paint is dry a paint stripper will be required such as Blackfriar Professional Paint & Varnish Remover. | |

Question: On a dark grey south west facing roof of heavy Marley tiles, at a slope of approx 45 degrees what percentage reduction in solar heat gain in hot weather could be expected? |
Answer: Blackfriar don’t have any figures for their Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint White in relation to this, it is a white paint that doesn’t absorb sunlight and therefore reduces the temperature of the substrate. They have never carried out specific tests to determine the reduction in surface temperature. | |

Question: Can this white solar reflective paint be used on an old asphalt roof? |
Answer: Yes. All surfaces should be clean and free of loose material and contamination. Remove all moss, lichen, fungal growth and other contaminants. Scrape off any loose paint. Surfaces can be slightly damp but they should not be wet. Priming is not necessary. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections, two coats are recommended. | |

Question: Can this paint be used to reflect light on a party wall. Or is there another product that would do this? |
Answer: Assuming you wish to reflect light off the wall into your property to brighten it up a little this should be fine. We would recommend using the Solar Reflective White, not the Aluminium. We also assume the party wall is a standard masonry surface, if so the paint will be fine to go onto this with no specialist primers. | |

Question: Is Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint suitable for a polycarbonate consevatory roof to reduce the heat inside. Should it be applied to the inside (preferably) or the outside? Would White or Aluminium be most effective? |
Answer: Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint isn't suitable for polycarbonate but Bedec Multi Surface Paint is suitable for the inside and Bedec Super-Flex is suitable for the outside. It's totally up to you which you prefer to use as both with be equally effective at reflecting the heat. Most commonly conservatories are done in white rather than aluminium as it will not darken the room as much. | |
