Application Areas

Dunkle Fahrzeugoberflächen absorbieren Infrarotstrahlung normalerweise und heizen dadurch das Auto auf. Spezielle Farbpigmente („Cool Pigments“) von BASF SE ermöglichen, dass die Wärmestrahlung auch bei dunklen Oberflächen zu großem Teil reflektiert wird. Abdruck honorarfrei. Copyright by BASF. Dark vehicle surfaces normally absorb infrared radiation and heat the automobile up. “Cool Pigments,” special color pigments from BASF SE, enable the thermal radiation of the sun to be largely reflected, for example from automobiles, even from dark surfaces.
