• UV-resistant with excellent exterior durability
• Light textured matt finish for consistent coverage
• Suitable for brush, roller, or textured spray application durability
• Interior or Exterior Application – Versatile and efficient in all settings

• Heat-reduction coating for galvanized steel, structural steel, concrete, and asbestos surfaces

• Suitable for industrial, commercial, and utility structures exposed to direct sunlight

• Can be applied as a topcoat over our water-based Primer

• Compatible as a topcoat over approved waterproofing membranes

• Light textured matt finish

• Available colours: White, Light Grey, Cream

• Tintable to light pastel shades using waterborne oxides or organic pigments

• Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound, and free from dust, oil, grease, and loose material

• Rusted steel must be mechanically cleaned or treated with Oxidestroy Rust Converter and Primer, following product instructions

• Moisture content of substrates must not exceed 12%

• Application methods: brush, roller, or textured spray equipment

• Apply two full coats to achieve a total dry film thickness of ±40 microns

• Allow minimum 6 hours drying time between coats (depending on temperature and humidity)

• Ready for use; do not dilute
  (In exceptional cases only, up to 2.5% clean water may be added)

 

• Polymer Type: Non-plasticised waterborne acrylic copolymer emulsion

• Drying Mechanism: Air drying via evaporation

• UV Resistance: Excellent

• Water & Alkali Resistance: Good

• Flash Point: Non-flammable

• Conductivity: None

• Flat steel / galvanized surfaces: 4 – 8 m²/L per coat (2 coats recommended)

• Concrete or plastered surfaces: 3 – 6 m²/L per coat

• Do not exceed recommended spreading rates

Independent field testing demonstrates measurable surface temperature reduction when TempDown is correctly applied.

• Flat galvanized steel:
  Average temperature reduction of 25 – 27%

• Primed steel with acrylic roof paint system:
  Temperature reduction of 17 – 19%

• IBR galvanized steel profiles:
  Temperature reduction of up to 20%

Measurements taken using pre-calibrated electronic thermocouple equipment.

• Do not expose freshly coated surfaces to rain within 8 hours

• Do not apply below 4 °C

• Do not apply to wet or damp substrates

• Not intended as a replacement for mechanical insulation systems

• Store under cover at ambient temperature in sealed containers

• Shelf life: ± 6–9 months when stored correctly

When applied in accordance with recommended guidelines, TempDown significantly reduces surface heat conductivity, delivering average surface temperature reductions of 25–27% under test conditions. This makes TempDown an effective heat-management solution for exposed industrial and commercial structures.
