Choose Bright Whites for Energy Efficiency and Savings
Both building contractors and homeowners look for high performance and energy efficiency from building and home materials. High-quality titanium dioxide (TiO₂) increases solar reflectivity, which helps homes repel excess heat. Outdoor materials featuring TiO₂ can withstand weathering and keep whites brighter longer, making it easier to maintain internal temperatures and keep cooling costs down.
White Roofs and Siding Reflect Light to Keep Buildings Cooler
Reflective white paints, white roofing membranes, and white PVC siding that reflect the sun’s heat can translate to lower summer air conditioning (AC) costs and net energy savings. Less AC use means lower energy demands, which leads to:
- Reduced peak energy demands and blackout risks on hot days
- Reduced carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions
- Improved air quality
- Lower overall temperatures in large cities
Titanium dioxide's high refractive index reflects infrared (IR) heat away from buildings. A high quality TiO₂ such as Ti-Pure™ gives plastics and coatings the brightest, cleanest whites for maximum effectiveness.
Backsheets for Solar Panels
PVDF and PET films are an important layer of solar panels. High-quality TiO₂ allows these backsheets to provide excellent reflectivity, re-focusing light back to the solar cells. It also enables high opacity to protect underlying panel components from sun damage.
