Scientist Creates World’s Whitest Paint which Reduces the need for Air Conditioners.

Scientist Xiulin Ruan, from Purdue University, has created the World’s Whitest Paint which could reduce or eliminate the need for air conditioners.

The Paint developed at Purdue University has also earned a Guinness World Record and the record appears in Guinness World Record edition 2022.

The white paint was invented by Xiulin Ruan a professor of mechanical engineering from Purdue University and his students. He said, “We started this project about seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind.” The scientist at the university had aimed to make a paint that would reflect sunlight away from a building structure. 

In process of creating a paint that would reflect 98.1% of solar radiation and emit infrared heat, it became really white. When the paint is applied to a building the paint will not absorb heat and will instead, emit it, making the surrounding and indoor temperature cooler without consuming any power.

This white Paint is different from typical commercial paint. Because Paints in the market that are designed to reject heat reflect only 80%-90% of sunlight and can’t make surfaces cooler than their surroundings.

According to Xiulin Ruan, the World’s Whitest paint will soon introduce in the market for selling purposes. The researchers have also filed patent applications for this white paint. There is strong seriousness on making this white paint available for commercial use.
