Joint Development Agreement
Sun Chemical and DSR have signed a Joint Development Agreement to further enhance the performance of DSR’s innovative SolaVeil product offering even greater results in reduc- ing energy usage and CO2 emissions for the built environment. SolaVeil when applied to windows significantly reduces Solar heat gain by over 80 per cent and UV by 99.9 per cent while allowing the maximum natural daylight to pass through into a building interior. Not only does this provide a better environment for working, learning and healing, but it also significantly reduces air-conditioning costs and lighting costs. The Joint Development Agreement is a commitment to continually evolve the material components of SolaVeil, which drive its performance. Planned new developments mean SolaVeil will have even a greater impact on solving climate change and energy issues associated with buildings.
