Engineer Dexter de Castro from Naga City, Camarines Sur, has developed a thermal insulating powder capable of reducing indoor temperatures by 30% to 60% when applied as a coating or paint.<\/p>\n

As reported by GMA News\u2019 Balitang Bicolandia<\/a>, this project was inspired by NASA’s technology. Invented in 2019, it utilizes a coat used in space shuttles, composed of pre-cracked ceramic tiles with high silica content, alumina, and nano ceramic particles, as its model.<\/p>\n

De Castro’s powder, made from a mixture of soil and silica clay or white clay, has undergone testing by Engineer Junval Parco. After application to walls directly exposed to heat, Parco noted a significant reduction in temperature with just two coatings. Formerly struggling to sleep due to the heat, he now finds his walls much cooler.<\/p>\n

Parco has integrated the powder into his projects, receiving positive feedback from customers. De Castro offers a bucket of insulating powder for PHP1,620 and a kilogram for PHP330. He also plans to patent his invention, a process that typically takes 48 months.<\/p>\n
