Cool-FX BIOBASed

A biobased roof cooling coating that keeps buildings cooler through summer by reflecting solar radiation before it reaches the roof.  

It lowers indoor temperatures in barns, skylights and commercial buildings, then wears away naturally once the season ends. The biodegradable formula delivers full reflective cooling and breaks down cleanly, leaving no lasting effect on the roof.

Cooling from natural materials 

What a coating is made of matters. Cool-FX Biobased is built on a starch-based natural binder, using raw materials grown and processed largely in Europe. Its formula reflects solar radiation through the summer, then breaks down gradually under natural weathering.

Choosing a natural binder does not mean giving up performance. Cool-FX Biobased delivers the full reflective cooling of the range, with the reassurance that its core ingredient is a renewable, starch-based material.

7.3°C

Cooler inside 

From a trial on a poultry farm in Turkey, the coated barn measured 7.3°C cooler inside than the uncoated control at the afternoon peak. That head start eases heat stress and reduces how hard the cooling system must work.

14.7°C

Cooler surface  

During application, the coated roof measured 34.5°C against 49.2°C on the uncoated roof, a surface reduction of 14.7°C. Lower surface temperatures ease thermal stress on the roof and slow the transfer of heat into the building. 

12%

Lower energy use  

Across the full 42-day cycle, the uncoated control barn used 12% more electricity for cooling than the coated barn. For operators running fans and cooling pads through summer, that is a direct and repeatable saving.

Application & coverage

Mix with clean water and spray on in a single coat, with no priming or surface prep. A 20 kg bucket covers around 200 m² of roof surface. Apply in a dry window so the coating can bond before the next rain, and on sloping roofs use slightly less water so it stays put.

Livestock productivity

Cooler, more stable barn conditions do more than improve animal welfare. In a controlled poultry trial in Ankara, the coated barn returned a better feed conversion ratio than the uncoated control, 1.36 against 1.42, meaning the birds gained more weight from the same feed. Meat yield was around 3% higher, and animal losses over the 42-day cycle fell by 21%. For producers, that connects a cooler roof directly to healthier flocks and stronger output.  

Weather and timing
Apply Cool-FX Biobased in dry, settled weather so the coating can set before any rain, ideally in late spring before the hot season builds. Once on, it works through the warmest months and then wears away on its own as rain, wind and sun break it down over three to five months. A higher concentration and a more porous surface both make it last longer, so you can match the mix to how much of the season you need to cover.

Why Cool-FX

Cooling proven in the field trials  

Cooling a building well takes more than reflectivity. It takes a formula that performs in the heat and a real understanding of how different roofs and climates behave. Cool-FX is developed and tested in the field, on working farms and commercial roofs, so its results come from real conditions rather than the lab.

Backed by Lumiforte, it combines proven coating know-how with environmental responsibility, giving you effective summer cooling and a lighter footprint once the season ends.

Frequently asked questions

How soon will I notice a difference?

Quickly. Once the coating is on and dry, the roof reflects sunlight straight away, so temperatures start coming down on the next hot day. 

Does it reduce glare as well as heat?

On skylights, yes. As well as heat, Cool-FX Biobased reflects part of the incoming light, softening the harsh direct sun that reaches people working below, while still letting daylight through. 

Will it damage or stain the roof?

No. The coating breaks down cleanly under sun, wind and rain, leaving no residue. Once gone, the roof returns to its original appearance and colour.  

Was it tested on a working farm?

Yes. In a Turkey field trial, two identical poultry barns ran side by side, one coated and one left as a control, so the temperature, energy and productivity differences could be measured reliably.
