From; Bill Lepinsky, Insulative Paint,

Ceramic micro-spheres a result of technology developed by NASA to combat extremely high temperatures that the space shuttle experiences during re-entry are available as an additive that can be added to paint. When incorporated into paint the ceramic micro-spheres make paint act as an insulator.

The micro-spheres insulating additive is a fine, white power so small that it looks as if it is a single grain of flour. The micro-spheres are hollow and all gas has been remove which creates a vacuum. in effect a miniture thermos bottle.

The ceramic composition enables the micro-sphers to reflect 90 % of solar infrared rays and 85 % of ultra violet rays and dissipate heat back into the atmosphere.
