The Dry-Treat sealing solution for global warming
Current Colour Treat sealing and colouring technology.
Dry-Treat, the nano-tech leader in the manufacture of impregnating sealers
for porous building materials, is teaming up with leading thermodynamics scientist, Dr Eric
Hu (Deakin University, Australia), to develop a sealer for reducing global warming.
A recent article by Dr Hu in the The International Journal of Global Energy prompted
Dry-Treat founder, Stuart Anderson to approach him about developing an energy reducing
sealer based on Dr Hu's findings. In the journal article, Dr Hu outlines an alternative to
the traditional wisdom of planting more trees to soak up more carbon. Dr Hu proposes changing
the colour of as many sun-facing surfaces as possible to white, which will reflect solar
energy back out of the earth's atmosphere into space.
Dr Hu's investigations into energy reflection show that the energy absorbed by dark surfaces
such as roads and roofs may contribute just as much to global warming as energy trapped by
our carbon emissions. He proposes a system of energy credits, similar to carbon credits,
where individuals and companies are rewarded for changing dark, energy absorbent surfaces
into white reflective surfaces.
Dry-Treat has already developed a complimentary sealing technology. "Our unique Colour Treat
sealer provides premium protection from water, staining, salt attack and freeze-thaw damage,
as well as altering the colour of the surface," commented Dry-Treat MD, Stuart Anderson.
"Until now Colour Treat was intended as a remedial solution, to fix discoloured surfaces,
but it may be a commercially viable way to begin putting Dr Hu's environmental solution
into practice."
"We welcome interest from third parties," adds Mr Anderson, "engineers, service companies
and government organisations around the world."
