ASU spinoff develops new coating that could keep Phoenix roofs up to 40 degrees cooler

A new roof coating developed by an ASU spinoff company is continuing to be tested and showing its effectiveness as a moisture and heat barrier and in boosting the lifespans of roofs. Narayanan Neithalath, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, explains what testing is finding that the EnKoat coating system is capable of doing to protect and improve the durability of roofing structures and systems. EnKoat has a controlled microstructure to protect against extreme heat and help cool indoor temperatures in response to various ambient climate conditions. The advances promise to bring significant future progress in strengthening the resilience of many built environments.
