Thanks to a new success, white paint, which is mainly used on ships, airplanes or homes in warm regions, will now be much more efficient due to the high reflectivity of sunlight. Scientists,’the whitest paintcould develop.

The whitest paint in the world, this year actually in the Guinness Book of Records He could go in. The scientists at Purdue University who developed this paint managed to make the paint much finer. The scientists published their achievements in the journal Cell.

The new paint is much thinner and lighter and can therefore also be used on airplanes and cars:

• Previous (left) and current (right) whitest paint.

The new paint, developed according to the shared details, has a thickness of only 150 micrometers. This fine structure makes the paint It manages to reflect back 97.9% of the sun’s rays. Thus, the internal temperature of the area covered by the paint becomes 5-6 degrees lower than the ambient temperature.

On the other hand, although thinner than its predecessor, the paint saw a decrease in reflectivity. The previous paint, 400 micrometers thick, It had 98.1% reflection success. However, the paint only changes the internal temperature according to the ambient temperature. up to 4.5 degrees could drop it.

However, the new paint is no longer available due to the much finer structure. in vehicles where weight is extremely sensitive, such as airplanes can also be used. In addition to airplanes, paint can also appear on clothing, shoes, and even cars. The patent application for the paint has just been filed. We may therefore have to wait a little longer for the commercial use of the paint.
