NOVERA is an advanced next-generation thermoreflective and thermoactive system based on microspherical technology, whose physical foundations originate from aerospace, military, and laboratory research.
The system contains millions of hollow ceramic and glass microspheres (of varying sizes and refractive indices) that:
The technology does not function as a conventional “white paint.”
It is an active surface thermal layer that alters the behavior of heat, light, and water vapor at the physical level.
The technology uses three parallel physical mechanisms:
Microspheres function as 360° micro-mirrors, reflecting most incoming solar energy away from the structure.
The surface rapidly re-radiates the small amount of heat that was not reflected. This is the key difference compared to conventional white coatings – while they may have high SR, they usually have low emissivity and therefore heat up.
Inside each sphere is gas, which dramatically limits heat conduction (λ → very low). As a result, the system significantly reduces surface temperature and heat flow into the structure.
| Parameter | Conventional coating | NOVERA |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | pigment + binder | microspheres + emissivity + physics |
| SR | high (visual only) | extreme (SR 0.88) |
| Emissivity | low | high (0.86) |
| Performance loss due to contamination | 30–50% after 1 year | <3% (microspheres active throughout the layer) |
| Service life | 2–5 years | 20–25 years |
| Physical effect | optical | physical (IR + emissivity + heat flow) |
| Thermal difference | 5–12 °C | 27–40 °C (up to 43 °C on bitumen) |
No.
NOVERA is an active thermal surface technology, not a passive insulation material.
It works at the first phase of heat transfer – where solar energy impacts the structure.
As a result, it significantly reduces the load on traditional insulation systems, increases their efficiency, and extends their service life.
Microspheres = 360° light reflection
High emissivity = the surface does not overheat
Full-layer functionality = no performance loss due to contamination
Stable polymer matrix = no cracking, no degradation
Physical principle, not optical whiteness
Because the microspheres are not only on the surface, but distributed throughout the entire layer.
Contamination affects conventional pigment-based coatings (which work optically), whereas NOVERA works physically and volumetrically.
Performance loss remains below 3% even after years.

The speed depends on:
Yes and no — depending on the substrate:
| Bitumen | recommended |
| PVC / TPO / EPDM | YES |
| Concrete | usually no |
| Metal | optional |
| Mineral render | no |
| Old coatings | YES (for safety) |

No.
Regular cleaning with water is sufficient.
Thanks to TiO₂, NOVERA has a self-cleaning effect.

swimming pools without a waterproofing layer
structures without vapor barriers
substrates that are wet or greasy
substrates undergoing active degradation (renovation required)
Yes.
It is often one of the best possible solutions, because it:
equalizes thermal shocks,
seals microcracks,
reduces stress on waterproofing layers,
extends the roof’s lifespan by decades.
Yes.
The entire system:
is VOC-free (0% or ultra-low),
contains no toxic substances,
is water-based,
meets ESG standards,
is suitable for schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and the food industry.
NOVERA Interior is:
odorless
antibacterial (TiO₂)
vapor-permeable
environmentally friendly
ideal for children’s rooms
Typically 2–4 years, sometimes even less (Southern Europe, GCC).
Savings are generated through:
reduced cooling demand,
lower roof degradation,
higher efficiency of PV panels,
more stable indoor temperatures.
The price depends on:
the product type,
roof condition,
extent of repairs required,
number of layers applied.
B ROOF (T3) — fire resistance
