Research Outline

Infrared-reflecting Paint Manufacturers

Goals

To prepare a list of companies in the US that manufacture and sell infrared-reflecting paints for use on metal surfaces.

Early Findings

The Spreadsheet and Initial Findings

  • Based on the desired criteria, a spreadsheet has been prepared that lists the manufacturers of infrared-reflecting paints for use on metal surfaces in the US. The spreadsheet mentions the name of the company, the relevant product webpage that details the specification of the infrared-reflecting paint, the company website, address, contact numbers, and email ID.
  • Precision Coatings, Inc. is a paint manufacturer based in Springfield, Missouri. The company sells IR-reflective paints suitable for metal surfaces under the brand names REFLECT 3000 and REFLECT 5000.
  • Tex-Cote LLC is a paint manufacturer based in Panama City, Florida. The company sells IR-reflective paints suitable for metal surfaces under the brand name REFLECT-TEC.
  • The Ultimate Coatings Company is a closely-held, private paint manufacturer based in Reno, Nevada. The company sells IR-reflective paints suitable for metal surfaces under the brand name THERMO-SEAL.

Summary of Early Findings

  • In the initial one hour of research, we could prepare the spreadsheet and also find three(3) US-based paint companies that manufacture IR-reflective paints suitable for metal surfaces. Since the search string was constrained to "metal surfaces", we could only find and list 3 such companies. However, research indicates that there may be more such companies in the US that manufacture IR-reflective paints suitable for metal surfaces.
