Lo/Mit-II Low-e Paint

Lo/Mit-II is a silicone-emulsion heat-reflecting paint for interior use offering an emissivity of 0.21 to 0.26, depending on the substrate. This type of coating is typically applied to the underside of roof sheathing and is particularly helpful when retrofitting poorly insulated ceilings.

Compared to similar products, Lo/Mit-II has an unusually small VOC content of 43 grams per liter. It installs with standard spray equipment, low-nap rollers, or fine-bristle brushes. Radiant barriers are more beneficial in reducing cooling loads than heating loads.
