PolyFrost®
The World’s Coolest Coating
Save Fuel
Reduce reefer diesel consumption by up to 20% in cycle-sentry mode. Fewer gallons burned means less exposure when prices climb.
Protect Cargo
Maintain consistent setpoint temperatures, even under peak solar load, and reduce spoilage claims.
Easy to Apply
Standard spray equipment, just like paint, in under 12 hours. Retrofit or factory spec.
Improve ROI
Fewer engine hours and less mechanical strain. Supports resale position, maintenance planning, and replacement timing.
The Fleet Economics of Heat
Heat is not just an environmental consideration for fleets – it is a direct operating cost. Solar heat load forces the cooling system to work harder to hold setpoint, burning more diesel and driving up engine hours, compressor wear, maintenance events, and temperature-excursion risk.
PolyFrost complements refrigeration by reducing the work the cooling asset has to do.
It passively reduces solar-driven heat load, keeping exposed surfaces cooler and cutting thermal transfer into the vehicle or trailer.

How it Works
Sunlight hits a surface, and most of it becomes heat that surface holds onto.
PolyFrost® keeps much of that heat from getting in, so it never becomes a load for cooling equipment to work off. It does this in two ways at once. It reflects most incoming sunlight, and releases the heat that does build up as infrared, at wavelengths the atmosphere doesn’t trap.
Because heat always flows toward cold, that energy travels out to space rather than staying in the surface. That’s why a PolyFrost-coated surface can shed more heat than the sun puts in and end up cooler than the surrounding air.
This is called Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC). It needs no power, and it doesn’t stop at night.
