THE COOL MORTAR
The new generation of photonic mortars that cool cities and reduce energy consumption
INNOVATION TO MITIGATE THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT
PhotoKrete SL is a Deeptech (ClimateTech) startupthat aims to transform construction and improve urban life through innovative, scalable and affordable solutions. We develop photonic mortars and cementitious materials with autonomous daytime radiative cooling technology. A natural and sustainable solution to reduce urban temperatures, reduce energy consumption in air conditioning and mitigate the heat island effect.
Our approach combines science and innovation to create advanced photonic materials that build and improve the quality of urban life. Validated by institutions such as the CSIC, UPNA and UPV/EHU, we are leading the way towards the future of construction.

THE PHOTONIC COOLING MORTAR
Innovation for a more sustainable future
What is it?
Disruptive innovative technology in the construction sector. We are pioneers in the development of cold photonic mortars. A solution that seeks to reduce urban heat and improve the energy efficiency of buildings and urban surfaces. This material has the ability to reflect much of the solar radiation and emit heat in the form of thermal radiation into outer space. Thanks to this dual action, heat accumulation and its rebound into the atmosphere are reduced, which helps to lower urban temperatures and reduce energy consumption for cooling, thus contributing to the development of more sustainable cities.
How does it work?
Cool photonic mortar is a revolutionary solution that takes advantage of passive daytime radiative cooling, a natural phenomenon that dissipates heat in the form of infrared radiation into outer space and minimises solar absorption, keeping surfaces cooler.
Easily scalable in the city due to its versatility of application.
Competitive pricing and durability.
