Cool Paint

Cool Paint

An NTU research team has successfully developed new methods to create a type of “cool paint” using recycled plastics – namely acrylic, old PVC pipes and polystyrene foam – and barium sulphate, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to new plastics. The NTU methods not only help in cooling temperatures in tropical environments, but also contribute to effective plastic waste management.
