Nutech NXT Cool Zone Low-Sheen 15L

Nutech NXT Cool Zone Low-Sheen is a heat-reflective nanotech roof coating formulated with Thermal Protection Technology and nano-modified acrylic polymers. It reflects up to 90% of solar infrared energy while shedding dirt and biological growth, which means a cooler roof, lower air-conditioning demand and a finish that keeps its colour and sheen far longer than conventional roof paints. The low-sheen finish is the right pick where a lower-glare roof is preferred.

Stand-out Benefits

• Energy savings, verified Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) values of 30-91% cut roof-surface temperatures and help reduce summer cooling costs
• Long-term durability, cross-linking acrylic resists harsh UV, chalking and chemical attack, backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty when applied to specification
• Self-cleaning surface, low surface friction minimises dirt pick-up and resists mould, lichen and moss
• Low VOC, water based, easy clean-up and safe for rain-water harvesting once cured
• Versatile substrate compatibility across concrete or terracotta tiles, primed metal, asbestos cement and asphalt shingles

• Water resistance: 100% waterproof once cured
• Warranty: 15 years, conditions apply

Application Outline

Pressure-clean the roof at 3000 psi or higher, repair any defects and select the correct Nutech primer for the substrate. Apply the first coat of NXT Cool Zone at 4 m2 per litre and allow a minimum of 4 hours to dry, then apply the second coat uniformly to reach the specified 200 um dry film. Avoid application below 10C or if rain is forecast within 24 hours.

Applications

• Cool-roof upgrades on concrete and terracotta tile roofs
• Primed metal, asbestos cement and asphalt shingle roofs
• Homes and buildings in hot Australian climates where cooling costs matter
• Roofs where a low-sheen, low-glare heat-reflective finish is wanted

Frequently Asked Questions

How much heat does Cool Zone reflect?

It reflects up to 90% of solar infrared energy, with verified TSR values of 30-91% depending on the colour. All Cool Zone colours exceed 30% TSR, and many light and mid tones exceed 60%.

What warranty is offered?

NXT Cool Zone is backed by a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty when applied to specification, covering the coating against premature failure under the Nutech guidelines.

What is the difference between Low-Sheen and Gloss?

Both are the same heat-reflective Cool Zone membrane. Low-Sheen gives a lower-glare finish for roofs where a softer look is preferred, while Gloss delivers a high-gloss, wet-look finish.

Will it really reduce cooling costs?

The verified TSR values reduce the roof-surface temperature, which lowers the heat load entering the building and can reduce summer air-conditioning demand. The actual saving depends on the roof, insulation and local climate.
