Renowned for its quality and durability, Thermatech coating technology outstanding feature includes the ability to reflect heat, thus improving the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of roofing.

Building materials that incorporate SRI technology and promote efficiency had become an increasingly common criterion for green building marks and construction designs.
