"Buying" green energy produced in Norway by an Italian company is environmentalism or greenwashing? Is the same energy purchased by a company in Germany more "green" than that in Italy?

Is fuel containing 5% or 10% esters considered ecological fuel?

Is a product or raw material containing 10, 20, 30, or 40% natural substances (hopefully rapidly renewable) ecological?

Is it enough to add food processing waste as filler and have a product that is organic, eco-friendly, or natural?

This is lying to the customer, faking actions, circumventing regulations, and laughing in the face of future generations. Just as you can't be a little pregnant, you can't be a little natural or organic.
Many manufacturers begin their sustainability journey with a lie.

We all understand that it's not light, and everything should be achieved step by step; change takes time.
However, customers should be reliably informed, here and now, today. They should know what they're dealing with and make informed purchasing decisions, even if they involve higher costs.

Rising energy costs and the need to improve the energy efficiency of buildings are making ceramic thermally reflective coatings increasingly important. They are not traditional thermal insulation materials like mineral wool or polystyrene, but rather specialized coatings designed to reduce surface heat gain by reflecting a significant portion of thermal radiation and reducing heat transfer.

The basis of thermally reflective coatings is the use of microscopic ceramic fillers and carefully selected pigments and mineral additives. Ceramic microspheres, expanded perlite, mica, and other materials with low thermal conductivity and high thermal resistance are often used. Once cured, they form a thin layer with a complex structure that limits both heat conduction and radiant energy transfer.

The greatest advantage of ceramic thermally reflective coatings is their ability to reflect infrared radiation and a portion of solar radiation. This allows the surfaces of roofs, facades, tanks, and steel structures to heat up much more slowly, which can lower interior temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning. In winter, the coating can also reduce heat loss through radiation from heated surfaces, although its impact is less significant than in summer, unless it is also applied inside the building.

Unlike traditional insulating materials, thermoreflective ceramic coatings do not significantly increase the thickness of the building envelope. Typical dry film thicknesses range from approximately 0.3 to 1.5 mm, making them suitable for applications where traditional insulation is difficult or impossible. This includes existing buildings, elements with complex geometry, pipelines, industrial tanks, and steel structures.

Beyond their thermal properties, ceramic coatings often offer additional functional benefits. They can increase resistance to UV radiation, reduce the effects of moisture, improve the durability of the substrate, and protect surfaces from weathering. Properly designed systems also demonstrate high aging resistance and maintain their properties for many years of use.
