The document discusses infrared (IR)-reflective coatings and pigments. It explains that 49% of sunlight that reaches Earth is infrared, which causes heat buildup. IR-reflective pigments can reflect infrared light and reduce heat absorption through their nanoparticle size and composition. An experiment showed that applying IR-reflective paint to panels reduced their surface temperature by 35°C compared to standard black paint. The document concludes that IR-reflective coatings can lower temperatures regardless of color.
