Use Cases & Industries
Wherever the sun drives up heat and costs, PolyFrost is the solution that provides protection, efficiency, and peace of mind.
Refrigerated Trailers
Improve temperature stability and keep perishable goods safe, all while reducing reefer engine runtime in cycle-sentry mode. PolyFrost reflects solar heat, helping refrigerated trailers maintain set point temperature longer, while reducing diesel consumption by up to 20%. Fleets benefit from lower fuel bills, fewer spoilage claims, improved delivery reliability, and increased asset longevity.
Last Mile Delivery – Straight Trucks & Step Vans
During regional and urban deliveries, last mile vehicles spend long hours in direct sun. PolyFrost reduces cabin and cargo-area heat accumulation, improving driver comfort while decreasing the strain on the truck’s cooling system.
Temporary Shelter & Broadcast Trailers
Keep people and equipment protected under the sun. PolyFrost reduces heat buildup in mobile command units, field shelters, and broadcast trailers, improving comfort, preventing overheating, and reducing reliance on service-intensive, power-hungry cooling systems.
Utility & Industrial Applications
PolyFrost’s applications aren’t limited to transportation. Its passive cooling benefits extend to fixed infrastructure, including:
- Electrical and utility enclosures — helps protect critical equipment from overheating during summer conditions, improving system reliability and resilience.
- Industrial shelters and rooftops — reduces building heat loads and helps extend HVAC equipment life.
Wherever the sun is an operational challenge, PolyFrost delivers durable, electricity-free cooling.
Use Cases FAQs
Who can apply PolyFrost?
PolyFrost can only be applied by a professional paint shop that has completed our training and follows our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). You can work with one of our certified application partners trained by ChillSkyn, or apply it in-house after training. Contact us to identify an application partner near you or to finds out about our application certification for your team.
How is PolyFrost applied, and how long is a trailer out of service?
PolyFrost is rolled and sprayed on with standard spray equipment, much like paint. A trailer can be coated in under 12 hours, with no downtime beyond the application window. This works on new builds and on trailers already in service.
What can PolyFrost be used on?
PolyFrost works on sun-exposed roofs and surfaces where heat load drives energy use, discomfort or product risk. ChillSkyn trials and deployments include: refrigerated trailers, deep freeze trailers, aluminum dry boxes, air-conditioned containers, passenger buses, broadcast trailers, traffic signal cabinets and components in the power distribution network.
