KOFATERM is a line of water-based paints and pastes that provide thermal reflective coatings capable of saving up to 40% of energy in both hot and cold climates. These products utilize densely packed microspheres to reflect over 90% of thermal radiation, including infrared waves. KOFATERM coatings serve as a barrier, reflecting back these waves before they can penetrate walls or roofs.

Hot Climate

In hot climates, when the sun heats the surfaces of walls and roofs for long periods, insulation materials can lose their effectiveness. Some may even become damaged and lose their ability to resist heat. Eventually, this thermal energy spreads through the materials and enters the room, making it uncomfortably warm.

To reduce high indoor temperatures, air conditioners are often used, but they consume more energy when insulation is weak. By applying KOFATERM pastes to the outside of your walls, you can lower energy usage while keeping your home comfortable. Our solution helps keep the outer surface of your walls at a temperature close to the surrounding environment, even in direct sunlight.

Cold Climate

In cold climates, applying KOFATERM coatings indoors reflects heat away from the internal walls, helping to maintain the desired temperature. Warm air stays inside, and cold air doesn’t escape, significantly reducing energy needed for heating. Depending on the insulation used before, KOFATERM paint can lead to energy savings of up to 40%.

Temperate Climate

The temperate climate features hot summers and cold winters. To improve energy efficiency, KOFATERM coatings should be applied both inside and outside buildings. In summer, the exterior coating blocks heat from the sun, potentially cutting air conditioning energy needs by up to 40%. It also protects insulation materials from damage.

In winter, the interior coating keeps heat from escaping and enhances warmth by up to 7°C, reducing heating energy use by about 40%. It also prevents mold and mildew on walls.

Using KOFATERM coatings addresses thermal modernization challenges in temperate climates.

Advantages of Application
KOFATERM Indoor

To understand how KOFATERM INDOOR works, we need to look at two key factors affecting energy loss in a room.

First, building walls have thermal resistance that allows heat to escape, leading to significant energy loss. This can be seen in thermal images.

Second, heat inside a room moves in two ways: vertically from the radiator and horizontally through radiation. Heat rises to the ceiling, leaving colder air near the floor, which causes discomfort. Traditionally, the only way to improve warmth was to increase radiator temperature, raising energy costs.

KOFATERM INDOOR coatings act like mirrors for thermal waves, reflecting 90% of heat back into the room, reducing energy loss through walls. They also help balance room temperatures to within 1-2°C (1.8-3.6°F).

Additionally, KOFATERM INDOOR coatings are low in water absorption but allow vapor to escape, helping keep walls dry and enhancing thermal resistance.

KOFATERM Outdoor

To understand how KOFATERM OUTDOOR works, we need to look at two main issues affecting external walls.

First, in hot climates, walls heat up from sunlight, reaching temperatures of 60-70°C (140-156°F) on hot days. This heat can enter indoor spaces, making us rely on air conditioning or fans, which increases electricity usage. Walls can also store this heat and release it into the room later, requiring constant cooling.

Second, in temperate climates, walls absorb moisture from rain and humidity. This moisture reduces the wall's thermal resistance, leading to higher heating costs in winter.

KOFATERM OUTDOOR coatings help with both issues. They reflect 90% of thermal radiation, keeping wall temperatures below 40°C (104°F) and reducing air conditioning costs.

Additionally, these coatings prevent moisture from entering while allowing trapped water vapor to escape, keeping walls dry and improving thermal resistance.

In summary, KOFATERM OUTDOOR coatings save up to 40% in energy costs in hot climates and protect walls in temperate climates, leading to significant savings during heating seasons.

KOFATERM Roof

KOFATERM ROOF coatings were developed to address two major issues that lead to energy loss and damage to roof insulation.

First, in hot climates or during hot seasons, roofs absorb intense solar radiation, reaching temperatures of up to 80°C (176°F). This heat can enter the building, forcing us to use air conditioning or fans, which increases electricity consumption. The hotter the roof, the more energy is needed to keep the interior cool. Moreover, roofs store heat, continuing to warm the inside even at night, leading to high energy use for cooling.

Second, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can degrade insulation materials, reducing their effectiveness by up to 50%. This increases energy demand for both cooling in summer and heating in winter.

KOFATERM ROOF coatings reflect over 90% of thermal energy back to the atmosphere, keeping roof temperatures close to the outside air. This significantly reduces heat entering the building and helps maintain the effectiveness of insulation materials, extending their lifespan.

Overall, using KOFATERM ROOF can lower energy costs by up to 40%. Additionally, the coatings fill micro-cracks on the roof surface, enhancing soundproofing and sealing.

Properties of Coatings
Paints

KOFATERM PAINT can be easily applied like traditional water-based paints, using a brush, roller, or spray. To achieve the best thermal reflective properties, apply 2-3 coats to reach a thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm (0.015-0.019 inches).

  • Coverage: 1 liter covers about 2-2.5 m², and 1 US gallon covers approximately 85-102 sq ft.

KOFATERM PAINT is user-friendly and offers excellent leveling, coverage, and drip resistance. You can adjust its thickness and work time by adding a small amount of water (up to 5% of the paint's volume).

The paint has a special formula, and only water should be added—no other additives. It adheres well to clean, dry surfaces, but bituminous and unpainted surfaces need to be primed with KOFARB PRIMER first. KOFATERM PAINT is also resistant to temperatures between -50°C and +160°C (-58°F to +320°F).

Pastes

KOFATERM PASTE is a water-based, thick paste that requires a different application method than liquid paints. It can be applied with a trowel for smoothing, a roller for structural plasters, or texture sprayers. When applied correctly, it forms a layer 0.8-1.2 mm (0.03-0.05 inches) thick in a single coat, which is important for maximizing thermal reflective and insulation properties.

  • Coverage: 1 liter covers about 1 m², and 1 US gallon covers approximately 10.76 sq ft.

In addition to thermal reflection, KOFATERM PASTE is highly elastic, reducing the formation of micro-cracks and sealing surfaces effectively. It also provides acoustic damping and allows for decorative textures. This paste significantly boosts thermal resistance and insulation.

Like the paints, KOFATERM PASTE can be modified slightly by adding up to 5% water for better flow and work time.

The paste has a special formula, and only water should be added—no other additives. It adheres well to clean, dry surfaces, but bituminous surfaces need BITUM PRIMER, and unpainted walls may require UNIVERSAL PRIMER. KOFATERM PASTE is resistant to temperatures from -50°C to +160°C (-58°F to +320°F).
