Terra Pave Cool Pavement

Top-Seal (Terra Pave) Cool Pavement (TPSA Cool Pavement) is a derivative of the Terra Pave Solar Albedo™ product for cooling pavements, also known as reflective or high-albedo pavements, refer to surfaces that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat compared to traditional darker pavements. These pavements are designed to mitigate the urban heat island effect and contribute to sustainable urban development. Pavements with TSA Cool Pavement have shown to be at least 18 degrees F cooler than traditional black top asphalt pavements. Tests have shown with the Department of Transportation of Nevada, USA that TPSA Cool Pavement mitigate urban heat island effect reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, resistance to moisture significantly exceeds Environmental Protection Agency standards.

TPSA Cool Pavement is important for cities, towns, villages because:

* Urban Heat Island Mitigation
* Makes the roads/pavements Cooler 18+ degree F or more - Download PDF Nevada DOT test of TPSA Cool Pavement
* Energy Saving for the entire city
* Improves Air Quality
* Improves Health and Comfort for the entire city
* Maximize back side production of Bi-Facial Solar Panels in Car Port Canopy Solar
* Preserves existing Asphalt/Chip Seal
* Seals current roads/pavements from Water Penetration to sub-soil
* Extends the Life of the roads/pavements +6 years depending on the traffic
* Improves Traction and Shorten Braking distance
* When cured roads/pavements have a grayish-white color* and 100% Eco-Friendly
* Climate Change Adaption

TPSA Cool Pavement is a polymer-based emulsion that requires water dilution. It is non-petroleum-based and eco-friendly, evaporating only water during the curing process and emitting no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It does not contain solvents or cause damage to solar farm equipment, roads or vehicles. It is easily applied, requiring no special equipment or handling procedures.

Urban Heat Island explanation and mitigations - Terra Pave Cool Pavement





TPSA Cool Pavement is a product to cool down urban development. TPSA Cool Pavement has high reflection of sunlight and absorb less heat compare to traditional concrete and asphalt pavements.

TPSA Cool Pavement product (Gray-Whiteish Color) is to cool down the temperature of any city by covering the asphalt roads, pavements with our Terra Cool Pavement product. TPSA Cool Pavement product is cured and dry approximately 7.5 hours after placement. It has great surface strength and is ready for traffic and reflects the heat from the sun.

*Terra Pave Cool Pavement (TPCP) is a water-based polymer. Water-based dries really fast. When TPCP is applied on the darker asphalt pavement, there will be a gradient of grayish-white colors along the pavement. When the pavement has a slope, there will be run-off from the center to the edge thus there will be a gradient of grayish-white colors overlapping the run-off. There will also be overlapping of sprays, due to this overlapping of layers there will be a gradient of grayish-white colors due to the overlapping. This overlapping is due to many reasons: 1) we need to do some overlap of layers to cover the entire street width 2) There is a car or something parking on the street that we need to go around, on the curve turning from one street to another street, a roundabout, a culdesac, etc…

* We believe the most important reason for Terra Pave Cool Pavement is to mitigate URBAN ISLAND HEATING and protect the pavement from OXIDATION and WATER.
