Titanium Dioxide IR-1000
IR-1000 is a functional rutile titanium dioxide designed to improve near-infrared (NIR) reflectance in colored, dark and wide-color-gamut systems. Its controlled particle-size design and dense silica/alumina surface treatment provide an NIR-scattering framework while allowing formulators to maintain the target visible color.
IR-1000 is recommended for colored architectural coatings, low-lightness solar-reflective coatings, coil and metal coatings, container and marine coatings, plastic films, exterior plastic components, flexible coatings and coated fabrics.
IR-1000 is not intended as a universal one-for-one replacement for conventional pigmentary titanium dioxide. Its dosage, color-pigment package, substrate, film thickness and dispersion process should be optimized as a complete optical and thermal-management system.
Applications
IR-1000 is recommended for:
• Colored architectural and exterior-wall coatings
• Low-lightness and black solar-reflective coatings
• Coil, metal, container and marine coatings
• Colored plastic films and exterior plastic components
• Flexible coatings, coated fabrics and leather coatings
• Wide-color-gamut systems requiring solar heat management
