IRON OXIDE BLACK

COOL PIGMENTS MAIN CHARACTERISTICS It is well known that under the sun, dark surfaces become hot and white surfaces remain cooler. When comparing a white plastic part containing TiO2 (Near Infrared -NIR- reflecting pigment) with a black plastic part containing Carbon Black (Near Infrared -NIR- absorbent pigment) the surface temperature difference can reach more than 30°C on a hot, sunny day.

This common effect is not only related to color but also to NIR absorption of the pigments used in a particular application. By using the appropriate pigments, even dark surfaces can stay cool under the sun.

This type of pigments, also referred to as Cool Pigments, do not absorb the NIR portion of wavelengths coming from sunlight. There are 2 types of Cool Pigments: NIR reflecting pigments and NIR transparent pigments. The final behavior of the latter will be influenced by the entire system; therefore, when using NIR transparent pigments it is recommended to use them in combination with NIR reflecting pigments or substrates.

Ferro Pigments has a full range of Cool Pigments and many years of experience developing projects in this field, so we are the ideal partner to support you in your cool projects.

MAIN APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS APPLICATIONS

BENEFITS

PVC applications e.g. siding, window profiles Agricultural film Plastic roof tiles Sport fields and synthetic turf/artificial grass Automotive applications e.g. dashboards, steering wheels, upholstery Fiber applications e.g. garment, carpets Single ply roofing systems Black coloration of plastics to be recycled

by NIR sensor sorting systems

Increased service life due to less thermal stress on the plastic parts Reduced air conditioning and energy consumption Increased comfort Increased Health and Safety Increased protection against thermal degradation of goods packaged with “cool” plastics Recycle black parts to create economical value and reduce waste disposal
