ASU alum develops vinyl wrap that cools vehicles by up to 15 degrees

An Arizona State University alum has developed a product to combat the outdoor heat beating down on vehicles and other surfaces.

Entrepreneur Jordan Fourcher began development on his cooling product Cryo Skin while still attending college. Cryo Skin is a self-cooling vinyl wrap that uses radiative technology to remove heat from objects, including cars.

Fourcher says two clients are using Cryo Skin products to keep their vehicles cool during this weekend’s U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach.

“Basically, we have put Cryo Skin on the roof of both of their refrigerated vending vehicles and it allows them to operate them the whole day without having to worry about running out of power. In fact, it actually helps them operate even when the air conditioning unit's not even on. It helps keep the drinks nice and cool," he said.

He says Cryo Skin functions differently from insulation.

“Insulation is great, but what it doesn't do is it doesn't remove heat. And we fundamentally solve that problem. So insulation, basically, it just slows down the time it takes for the heat to get there. But at the end of the day, it's just going to average out the temperature," he said.

Under ideal conditions, Cryo Skin can cool objects by 15 degrees.
