COOLIT is trusted. COOLIT is patented. COOLIT works.
COOLIT is a unique, patented paint additive that enhances primers, paints and coatings, making your home:
More energy efficient
More resistant to fire
Less susceptible to insects
Passive insulation: COOLIT adds a patented thermal barrier to paint
The primary benefit COOLIT offers is that it provides an actual thermal barrier against heat, leaving your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. By passively insulating the interior or exterior surfaces of your home, you gain added comfort and lower your utility consumption.
COOLIT makes paint intumescent
Flame retardant paints on the market today tend to be low coating, ~120 square feet (s/f) per gallon, are expensive (~$100+ per gallon), and contain toxic substances that emit VOCs. COOLIT is different. After liquefication, COOLIT can be added directly to paint and simply shaken-in. It does not reduce the s/f rating of your existing paint, and is easy to apply, easy to spray, and does not affect dry-times. When our directions are followed correctly we have multiple tests showing a flame resistant rating of A+ 0-5. Long lasting means insect resistant Because COOLIT makes paint more heat resistant, it makes exterior paints longer-lasting, and less likely to flake and expose surfaces to insect infestations. The long-lasting effects of COOLIT are well-documented in this video clip. This makes homes more resistant to termites and other insect infestations over longer periods of time.
Affordablity
We make COOLIT's thermal insulating and fire retardant qualities affordable. We have documented proof showing that painting with COOLIT pays for itself! We have refined our product to mix with any interior or exterior paint product. The appearance is smooth and undetectable, and can be used with any paint color.

COOLIT story
COOLIT was originally a heating and air conditioning company. One of our clients had a kitchen fire and when the ceiling collapsed, a customized insulating material we had created smothered the fire by itself. The client and fire department were shocked.
A lightbulb went off in our heads. What if there was a way of adding our material to paint? After years of experimenting, we perfected several successful combinations. Initially the enhanced paint was only suitable for exterior stucco and roofs. Lockheed tested our materials, and to their amazement the product was the strongest flame-retardant material they had ever tested at the time. They conducted a 2-hour test at 1,000 degrees without failure!
We found that not only was COOLIT flame retardant, but when added in the correct proportions, offered a remarkable thermal barrier (insulating) affect. Almost immediately after testing, we saw a substantial reduction in energy costs simply by applying COOLIT. We had one client show us their utility bill with an amazing 40.5% reduction from the year before. Another client’s total electricity bill for the San Fernando Valley was cut almost in half after painting all their exterior and interior walls, ceilings, and attics.
These results show why COOLIT is the paint of the future. It truly is a paint product that pays for itself.
