SPACECOOL Inc. has opened pre-orders for its new 'SPACECOOL Parasol Type2' on its online shop ahead of the June 11 launch date, designated as 'Umbrella Day' in Japan. The parasol uses the company's proprietary radiative cooling material, which achieves both solar reflectance and infrared emissivity of up to 95%, releasing absorbed heat as infrared radiation into space. Testing by the Kaken Test Center confirmed a heat-shielding rate of 76-80% (80% for silver), light-blocking rate of 99.99%+, and UV-shielding rate of 99.9-100%. Outdoor thermal imaging on May 19, 2026 showed the user's head temperature was approximately 6°C lower compared to no parasol use. The previous model sold out at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. Available in three color options: Silver x Grey, White x Grey, and White x Blue. The company has applied its zero-energy radiative cooling technology to schools, buses, and tents to deliver 'the coolness of tree shade' to outdoor environments.
FAQ
What heat-shielding rate does the SPACECOOL Parasol Type2 achieve?
It achieves an industry-leading 80% heat-shielding rate (silver model), confirmed by testing at the Kaken Test Center under JIS L 1951 standards.
How does the radiative cooling material work?
The material reflects up to 95% of sunlight and emits absorbed heat as infrared radiation into space, achieving cooling with zero energy consumption.
How much cooler does the parasol keep the user?
Outdoor thermal imaging tests on May 19, 2026 in Osaka showed the user's head temperature was approximately 6°C lower than without a parasol.
When is the official launch date for the Type2?
The SPACECOOL Parasol Type2 officially launches on June 11, 2026, known as 'Umbrella Day' in Japan. Pre-orders are open now.
What UV and light-blocking performance does it offer?
The parasol achieves over 99.99% light-blocking rate and 99.9-100% UV-shielding rate, verified by Kaken Test Center under JIS L 1925.
