BASF Latest Innovation Technology: Upgrading Environmental Standards in Energy Saving Black Paint(2009/9/24)

As we all know that building and housing used black roof and facade can absorb heat, but light colored roofs and facades will feel cooler. This is because the black surface has a high absorption rate, it can absorb sunlight and transformed into heat, but light colored surfaces can reflect sunlight.

A latest innovative black pigment from BASF Corporation (BASF) can be decorated in need of a black surface to reduce sunlight absorption rate and then reduce the surface temperature. These pigments are including Paliogen Black, Lumogen Black and Sicopal Black. Compare Carbon black pigment with the traditional standards, BASF innovative black pigment can effectively reflect infrared heat. Sunlight which 50% is caused by infrared light these pigments can be better than other black pigments to eliminate visible light absorption. So this is more excellent optical performance in black.

According to data provided by BASF, Paliogen Black and Lumogen Black pairs of sunlight in the infrared reflectivity can reach 45%, while the other Sicopal Black reflection rate can reach 30%. The traditional carbon black pigment on the infrared reflectivity only 5%.
Paliogen Black, Lumogen Black and Sicopal Black effectiveness of this cooling insulation making pigments in paints and other plastic coatings to achieve energy saving effects. If you are using BASF new pigments alternative to traditional carbon black pigments will be able to a great extent to solve building facade, roof energy saving environmental protection.
