CoolPave® & CoolMat® concrete paving products

"CoolPave®" paving blocks and "CoolMat®" paving flags offer unique features that promote a “cooling”, heat reflective effect. These innovative materials are designed to combat the negative effects of solar energy on the Earth's surface.

Solar energy reaches our planet in the form of electromagnetic radiation, with a wavelength ranging from 0.2 to 4 μm. However, a significant portion of this energy is either absorbed or reflected by clouds, gases, and atmospheric molecules. Approximately 19% is absorbed, while 26% is reflected back into space.

Unfortunately, the remaining 55% reaches the Earth's surface and gets predominantly absorbed by the ground and sea, leading to global warming. As our planet continues to warm, it becomes a source of heat itself, emitting energy in the form of long-wavelength electromagnetic waves (ranging from 4 to 25 μm). This type of radiation struggles to dissipate into space due to its difficulty in penetrating the atmosphere. The presence of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, exacerbates this phenomenon.

However, the incorporation of the "cool materials’" technology, solar radiation is instantly reflected as soon as it reaches the Earth's surface, preventing it from being absorbed and converted into long-wavelength radiation. This unique property offers several advantages:

1. Sustainability: The use of CoolPave® paving blocks and CoolMat® paving flags promotes sustainable practices by reducing the overall heat absorption of paved areas.
2. Long lifespan: These innovative materials are designed to withstand the test of time, ensuring durability and longevity.
3. Improvement of air quality: By minimizing heat absorption and reflecting solar radiation, CoolPave® and CoolMat® products contribute to better air quality in urban environments.
4. Reduction of air pollution: As these materials help regulate surface temperatures, there is a decrease in the release of pollutants associated with high temperatures.
5. Decrease in energy consumption for cooling: The cooling effect provided by CoolPave® and CoolMat® blocks and flags, reduces the need for energy-intensive cooling systems, resulting in lower energy consumption.
6. Tackling the urban “heat island” effect: The use of these materials in urban areas helps combat the urban heat island effect, where cities experience higher temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas.
7. Contribution to the reduction of the greenhouse effect and global warming: By reflecting solar radiation and minimizing heat absorption, CoolPave® and CoolMat® products play a role in reducing the greenhouse effect and mitigating global warming.

In conclusion, the utilization of "CoolPave®" paving blocks and "CoolMat®" paving flags with embedded heat reflective - cooling properties offer numerous benefits, ranging from sustainability and improved air quality to energy efficiency and the fight against climate change.
