A new cooling paint developed in China has entered mass production following successful field testing. According to a report from the state-run Science and Technology Daily, the material is designed to lower the surface temperature of buildings by as much as 25 degrees Celsius during the summer months.

The technology functions through the principles of radiative cooling, a process that allows surfaces to shed heat by emitting infrared radiation into the atmosphere. Unlike traditional air conditioning systems, this coating requires no electricity or chemical cooling agents to operate. The material was subjected to a six-month trial at a petrochemical facility in Hainan province, where researchers monitored its effectiveness in a real-world, high-temperature environment.

While the report claims the coating’s performance is superior to existing global alternatives, independent verification of these results has not yet been provided by international scientific bodies. The development is being positioned as a potential energy-saving solution for industrial and residential infrastructure, though details regarding the chemical composition of the paint and its long-term durability remain limited at this stage.
