The present invention relates to a heat reflective coated structural
article comprising a heat reflective component and a coated structural
article component which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge
coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge. The
coating of the coated structural article consists essentially of a filler
material and a binder material wherein the binder material bonds the
filler material together and to the substrate and wherein the coating does
not bleed through the substrate. Nonlimiting examples of the heat
reflective component include, elastomeric coatings, aluminum fiber
coatings, acrylic and polyurethane coating systems, ceramic coatings
insulating paints, metal pigment paints, metal pigment pastes and aluminum
flakes. The heat reflective coated structural article of the present
invention may be incorporated into commercial roofing products.
