Benchmark Electronics is a US-based electronics component manufacturer. Planet Supra nano Thermal Barrier Paint was chosen to refurbish its facilities located in Ayutthaya High-Tech Industrial Park, Thailand.

The main objective was to repaint buildings which paint had faded after only a few years in the tropical weather. Planet Supra was chosen because of the additional value it offers:

• high solar reflectance, making buildings cooler
• self-cleaning effect, preserving painted surfaces' appearance
• absence of cracks, no peeling for more than a decade
• carbon offset certification: painted buildings become eco-friendly

Application step 1: roofs cleaned with high pressure water spray

Surfaces have to be cleaned properly before painting, to ensure optimum paint bonding.

Application step 2: paint one coat of Planet Supra White

A regular primer could have been applied, followed by two coats of Planet Supra Neo dark green. Planet Supra can be applied directly onto any surface, without primer: using it as first coat reduced work load while preserving heat reflective performance.

Application step 3: paint one coat of Planet Supra Neo Dark Green (top coat)

Planet Supra Neo, the glossy nano Thermal Barrier Paint, was manufactured in a custom-made dark green color specially for Benchmark Electronics.

Planet Supra is certified by Carbon Offset Japan (COJ) and directly helps fight Global Warming.

Painted roof is expected to keep its appearance for up to 10 years without fading, peeling or cracking.
