Scientists creates all-new white paint that eliminates Air-Conditioner

Scientists at US university have invented the worldÂs whitest-ever paint which could help in cooling the heating Earth. With their unique creation, the paint has entered the Guinness World Records as the whitest ever made. A mechanical engineering professor at Purdue University said, Â When they started out, their goal was to create a paint color which would reflect sunlight away from a building. That’s where all the white comes inÂ.

Through phenomenal reflective properties, the whitest paint from Earth can absorb 98.1 percent sunlight and reflects infrared heat allowing the surface to cool by 4.5C below the ambient temperature minimizing the use of air conditioners. Ruan expressed in a statement, ÂApplying the paint on an area of about 1,000 square feet could produce cooling worth 10 kilowatts- having more powerful cooling than most powerful air conditionersÂ.  

“Typical commercial white paint gets warmer rather than cooler. Paints on the market that are designed to reject heat reflect only 80-90 percent of sunlight and can’t make surfaces cooler than their surroundings,” Purdue University said in a statement.

“When we started this project about seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind,” said Ruan, in a podcast episode of “This Is Purdue.”

ÂOur paint can help fight against global warming by helping to cool the Earth  thatÂs the cool point, said Prof Xiulin Ruan at Purdue University in the US. ÂProducing the whitest white means the paint can reflect the maximum amount of sunlight back to space.Â

Some resources have told Purdue Researchers are on their way to collaborate with a company to introduce the supercooling paint in the market. The qualities that are enhancing the value of new paint are a high concentration of barium sulfate, a chemical compound also used in cosmetics, along with different particle sizes of barium sulfate.
