The new method begins with the preparation of an aqueous solution of liquid glass that is applied to the surface of building materials. The surface is then subjected to plasma melting to form a silicate melt, followed by a layer of glass microbeads, 250-630 micrometers in size, applied onto it using the air jet of a compressor. This jet not only deposits microbeads but also cools the melt, creating a durable and highly effective coating, the department said.
Unlike existing technologies, in which materials are processed at high temperatures, which reduces adhesion strength, the new development enables a more durable bond of the coating to the surface thanks to the use of air jet cooling. This makes it possible to create a highly reflective coating, which increases the safety and energy efficiency of buildings.
