Beger joins forces with the National Innovation Agency (NIA) to advance its BegerCool paint innovation—ranked No.1 among nationwide innovations over the past 20 years—into the “Cooler Bangkok” research initiative, aimed at developing a model for cooler urban environments.
Beger Co., Ltd., a Thai leader in environmentally friendly paint innovation, is collaborating with NIA to further develop BegerCool. This award-winning innovation leverages heat-reflective technology and building energy management to support the “Cooler Bangkok” project, which aims to create an Urban Cool Zone to mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect and enhance urban quality of life.
The “Cooler Bangkok” project focuses on applying heat-reflective material technology across a broader urban context, including residential buildings, commercial properties, and various urban surfaces such as roofs, walls, and exterior areas. The goal is to reduce surface temperatures, minimize heat accumulation, and lower energy consumption from air conditioning—key strategies in addressing global warming and increasingly extreme urban climates.
This collaboration combines Beger’s expertise in material science and coating innovation with NIA’s role in fostering Thailand’s innovation ecosystem. Together, they aim to scale innovation from product level to city-wide application, ultimately contributing to sustainable urban development policies in the future.
As part of this initiative, Beger Roofseal Cool—one of the core technologies under the BegerCool portfolio—is being used as a prototype solution. Designed to reflect solar radiation and reduce heat absorption on roof surfaces, it helps lower building temperatures and reduce electricity usage. The project also aims to expand “Cool Square Meters” across urban areas.
Additionally, the technology has been enhanced with Graphene Technology, improving the strength of the coating film and increasing durability against weather, heat, UV radiation, and long-term surface degradation. This ensures sustained heat-reflective performance, making it especially suitable for tropical climates like Thailand.
This partnership not only builds upon a nationally recognized innovation but also applies advanced material science and coating technologies to urban development. It aims to reduce the Urban Heat Island effect and establish a sustainable model for cooler cities under the “Cooler Bangkok” concept.
