Interior Reflective Paint: >90% Reflectivity

[HighWaterMark]

Since Growilla Grow Room Paint was discontinued, there seems to be a void in the market. PolarKote® Reflective Coating at 95% Reflectivity looked promising, but at $200/gallon it was tough to fit in my budget.

I have a weird industrial space that is 2100ft² and subdivided into six small, equal rooms plus a larger utility room with endless corners, beams and 45 degree angles. In one way, it is just perfect for a commercial grow-op. However, going in there with a couple miles of Panda and a Staple Gun would invariably end in suicide. Suicide by Staple Gun. My mom would never work through it. Does this remind anyone else of a Sopranos episode?

Back to paint. Any ideas? My first choice would be one of our sponsors. Lacking that, I'll explore anything.

I'm not sure of any less expensive options other then Panda film. With paint you'll need to primer and water resistant paint due to grow room conditions.

Any pictures of the space, or diagrams?

Sorry, I don't have a diagram or CAD of the space, but take my word for it that covering the place with Panda, Orca or Mylar would by a total bitch. The reason I wanted to prime then paint with a TiO₂ impregnated flat white like a DuPont Ti-Pure R-902+ (which I think is semi-gloss, I forget) is that the whole joint would be easier to scrub down regularly not to mention intrinsically anti-fungal and antibacterial.

I'm a decade-plus out of the painting world. Are Titanium Dioxide flats still the way to go? My Internet research seems to indicate so. Any NKOTB?

 

[JJ Bones]

That's what I do not fully understand. Why would you cover the entire place with panda?

You only need to put panda on one part of the walls, not the entire room.

I wouldn't. In an ideal universe, my universe, a clean universe, I'd have surfaces with anti-fungal/bacterial titanium oxide flat white paint over primer. This I can wash down every couple of days (OK, twice a week) with a bucket of warm water, a spritz of soap and a couple cap-fulls of bleach.

Done!

I'm in search of flat white cover paint impregnated with titanium dioxide. I'm only familiar with DuPont but am open minded to any other brand as I can't find the DuPont (pigment or paint).

1st choice: DuPont Ti-Pure® R-931 Titanium Dioxide or in aqueous slurry form (R-941) - flat.

2nd choice: DuPont Ti-Pure® R-902+ Titanium Dioxide supplied as a fine, dry powder - semi-gloss.

Hope that clarifies things a bit. Thanks for reading!
