Cooling To construct highly cooling solar reflective coatings with excellent abrasive resistance, a crosslinkable absorbing heat waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was synthesised and used to prepare a solar reflective coating for asphalt pavement. The super-cooling effect of WPU based on solar reflective coating was evaluated by comparing to that of waterborne epoxy and polyacrylate emulsion. The WPU reflective coating could reduce the inner temperature of asphalt concrete by 7-11 ºC. Additionally, the coating showed an excellent anti-abrasive performance.
