Fumin Coating™ is an environmentally-friendly product from Japan to prevent solar heat and harmful UV. The Fumin Coating™ technology works on the bases of reducing the heat absorb into the building through the glass surfaces while maintaining low reflectivity and high visible light transmittance. The technology would help our buildings (new or existing) to improve energy efficiency, take advantage of natural day lighting and reduce the consumption of energy.

Fumin’s revolutionary coating provides protection against roughly 90 percent of ultraviolet rays and 50 percent of infrared rays. As it allows more than 80 percent of visible light to pass through, the treatment has no adverse effect on  interior illumination. Its low reflectivity of ultraviolet and infrared rays also makes it an effective means of countering the phenomenon of urban “heat islands”.


“In Singapore, where the average annual temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, window glass must have a reflectivity of no more than 10 percent in order to qualify for the country’s highest-ranking eco-label. Fumin Coating™ has a reflectivity of just 6 percent – almost same as standard glass – thanks to the use of an innovative ATO. We have been listed as one of Singapore’s eco-friendly products,” said Company President Katsuo Yagisawa.
 

Fumin has established a subsidiary in Singapore. Besides Japan, the technique has also been granted patent in Singapore in 2008.  To-date, it has completed projects in the region which ranges from new & existing commercial buildings, shopping malls, residential apartments and factories. Fumin Coating™ has been warmly received and recognised by customers and developers in Singapore and Japan for helping to conserve energy. Architects, consultants and construction firms are already planning to apply the coating to windows for their development projects.
 

“Overseas too, eventually, we want to have our coating liquid produced locally and get local companies to act as Meisters. Our hope is that it will be used worldwide to reduce emissions of CO₂ while at the same time creating new jobs,” added Mr Yagisawa.
