2. Retroreflective sheeting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflective_sheeting

   There are several grades of retroreflective sheeting which include the three major grades: engineer grade, high intensity prismatic (HIP) and diamond grade. Within these categories are further delineations based on material used and visibility distance. Diamond grade typically has the greatest distance for visibility of the three major ...

   Exposed Fastener panels are held down by fasteners through the outside of the metal, whereas Hidden Fastener Panels are held by hidden fasteners, clips, and sometimes adhesives. Typical metals include Galvanized Steel, Galvalume, Aluminum, Copper, or Vinyl 9Which while not metal is included in many cases for its matching profiles).

4. List of adhesive tapes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adhesive_tapes

   Reflective tape High-visibility adhesive tape with retroreflective sheeting. Thread seal tape Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene tape Abrasion resistant and low coefficient of friction tape, useful to protect wear surfaces.

5. Polyvinyl butyral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_butyral

   Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resin mostly used for applications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces, toughness and flexibility. It is prepared from polyvinyl alcohol by reaction with butyraldehyde.

6. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   Limited application of reflective surfaces can mitigate urban heat island effect. [6] Reflective surfaces can be used to change the albedo of agricultural and urban areas, noting that a 0.04-0.1 albedo change in urban and agricultural areas could potentially reduce global temperatures for overshooting 1.0 °C.

7. Flat roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

   Vinyl roofs provide an energy-efficient roofing option due to their inherently light coloring. While the surface of a black roof can experience a temperature increase of as much as 50 °C (90 °F) under the heat of the full sun, a white reflective roof typically increases only 5 to 14 °C (9 to 25 °F).
