Huntsman launches infrared reflective pigments

On June 11, Huntsman's Pigments Division introduced its ALTIRIS infrared reflective pigments to the Chinese market. The pigments provide the ability to reflect sunlight in any color coating or polymer product, reducing energy consumption, cost savings, and product performance and comfort.

Rob Portsmouth, director of business development at Huntsman's Pigments Division, said Huntsman is a manufacturer of dioxins pigments with more than 75 years of production experience. The innovative product, ALTIRIS Infrared Reflective Pigment, can be used in construction, industrial, transportation and other fields for all coating systems, such as steel coil coatings, marine coatings, automotive finishes, hand-sprayed layers for roofing and exterior walls. Wait. From the current situation, China will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption by the 20th year, and the use of ALTIRIS infrared reflective pigments can help Chinese companies achieve results in this regard. The pigment also has the following advantages: First, ALTIRIS is used in paints to better reflect the heat in the sun, helping to reduce the indoor temperature and the energy consumption required to use the air conditioning system, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air conditioning costs; Second, it can make any color paint or polymer product have the ability to reflect sunlight, avoid delamination or peeling of the paint, and help to extend the service life of the product. In addition, ALTIRIS pigments have opened up new seasons for polymer products to make polymers less prone to warping at high temperatures.

In the field of marine applications, Huntsman has now cooperated with marine coatings companies. The addition of ALTIRIS pigments to marine coatings reduces the cabin temperature by 15 degrees Fahrenheit, making the living environment on board more comfortable and helping to reduce the cost of air conditioning in the cabin without changing the performance of the manufacturer's original coatings. The pigment is also suitable for marine coatings such as liquid storage tanks and drilling platforms. In addition, Huntsman has introduced proprietary color matching software that provides color matching that reduces heat build-up, allowing users to have more pigment options while reducing energy consumption.
