Thermally insulative compositions for coating a vehicle

Abstract

A vehicle coating to thermally insulate the vehicle's interior is provided. The vehicle coating may be applied to the exterior (e.g., roof) of any suitable moving vehicle, such as a bus, RV, delivery truck, construction vehicle (e.g., cement mixer), train car. When applied to a vehicle's exterior, the vehicle coating provides the benefit of insulating the vehicle's interior from some of the sun's thermal energy, which would otherwise radiate into the vehicle and increase the interior temperature. The vehicle coating demonstrates advantageous thermal insulation properties (e.g., low thermal conductivity) over a wide range of temperatures and when applied with minimal thickness. The provided vehicle coating demonstrates high reflectance, high emissivity, low thermal conductivity, and high solar reflectance index (SRI), and is suitable for high vibration high uplift winds, which all contribute to its desirable properties for use as a thermally insulating vehicle coating.
