IIT Bombay’s new thermally insulating coating material shows record heat shielding

The new surface coating reduces the temperature under a coated material by up to 21 degree Celsius and can resist corrosion.

2023 was the second hottest year on record in India since 1901, reported the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Globally, owing to climate change, temperature rise has been consistent with each passing year. This rapidly rising temperature has driven the need for innovative and affordable solutions for thermal insulation and space cooling, that is cooling the insides of our homes and offices.
