An Adelaide company’s heat reflective paints are poised to help cool the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and beyond after an international distribution deal was signed in Dubai.

The agreement between Acryloc, a leading Adelaide-based manufacturer of paint and coatings, and ClimaGulf, a UAE-based pioneer in sustainable cooling solutions, was signed during the South Australian Government's official trade mission.

Acryloc’s products can reflect up to 87 per cent of the sun’s heat, addressing the growing need for sustainable solutions in urban environments facing rising temperatures. Acryloc is a family-owned paint maker, based in Dry Creek, that have been manufacturing and selling water-based coatings for more than 30 years. The company anticipates that a successful expansion into the UAE could result in a 30 per cent increase in local jobs and the construction of a larger, purpose-build facility in South Australia. The distribution deal was facilitated through introductions and ongoing support from the Department of State Development’s trade teams located in Adelaide and the UAE, and follows almost a year of discussions, product trials and testing.

Acryloc’s reflective paints and coatings have the dual benefits of helping to cool urban areas, while also improving sustainability by boosting energy efficiency. Since its establishment in 2010, ClimaGulf has been a leader in introducing advanced cooling technologies across the UAE. Both companies aim to position Acryloc products as the leading choice for environmentally conscious cooling solutions in the Middle East.
