Introducing ALTIRIS ® infrared reflecting pigment It's time to reflect!
ALTIRIS ® pigment helps reduce the heat absorbed by polymer products - No significant heating - Color observed by human eye - Largest heating effect Reduced surface temperatures Decreased warping Less expansion
What is ALTIRIS ® pigment? Engineered titanium dioxide based pigment Tailored infrared reflectance Used with colored pigments to increase solar reflectance ALTIRIS ® 800 pigment Low tint strength for dark (L*<40), bright and vibrant colors with high solar reflectance Use in colors where very little or no conventional titanium dioxide* would be added ALTIRIS ® 550 pigment Use in medium and light shades (L*>40) with high solar reflection Use this pigment for systems with low solids loadings to gain high infrared reflectance *Comparisons are with TIOXIDE ® TR60 pigment
Increased comfort Cool to touch Vibrant and dark colors Strong materials Design flexibility Color opportunity Controlled interiors Filtering of infrared Enhanced plant growth Reduced heat build-up Cooler surfaces Enhanced lifetimes What benefits can ALTIRIS ® pigment bring to different products? Based on limited Huntsman and third party tests. Additional testing would be required. Not suitable for use in lead-stabilized rigid PVC formulations. Comparisons are with TIOXIDE®TR60 pigment.
What benefit can ALTIRIS ® pigment bring to different colors? >5ºC potential heat reduction ALTIRIS® pigment optimized panels approximately 180 microns thick *Compared to polymers without improved solar reflectance
