NuCedar products feature the same durable, ceramic-based pigments in their coatings that have been used by leading roofing manufacturers to produce Energy Star® rated “cool roof” products. This low VOC coating from Sherwin Williams (i.e., Polane® Solar Reflective Polyurethane), represents a breakthrough in the continuing evolution of the ‘cool technologies’ for the building industry.
