Clariant is introducing black masterbatches specially formulated to reflect heat-generating near-infrared light rays so that floorcoverings stays up to 10 °C cooler.
Tradenamed Remafin Cool Black, the tailor-made masterbatches are intended to replace more conventional products that use carbon black pigments. Polypropylene carpets made with new Cool Black masterbatches are ideal for carpeting used outdoors on decks or boats where the heat of the sun can make dark surfaces uncomfortable to walk on. The same technology can be applied in applications such as apparel and upholstery and in resins other than PP, including polyester and nylon.
