Read MoreManaging Near Infrared (NIR) Light Using Visible Opaque Materials
NIR illumination and detection electronics often incorporate a protective cover or lens that appears black or visibly opaque. The black cover on the end of a TV remote or a dome around a night vision security camera are examples of visible opaque, NIR transmitting materials. They obscure electronics and reduce heat from Solar’s visual spectrum while efficiently transmitting NIR portion of light. They also expand design options and minimize the appearance of welds created by NIR lasers in part joining operations.

Epolight® dye blends are available in ready to mold or extrude Luminate™ thermoplastic pellet that reduces supply chain complexity and lead time for injected molded parts or extruded films. It also reduces quality risk from improper dye blend formulation, dye loading, inadequate dye dispersion, or excessive thermal stress. Available polymeric options include polycarbonate, acrylic, cellulose […]
Read MoreWelding and Arc Flash Dyes
Arc or flame cutting as well as welding operations produce potentially harmful ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation that can damage the human eye. For these operations, quality certified eye protection is required which reduces the intensity of the light. Epolin produces Epolight™ dye formulations and formulated ready to mold Luminate™ pellets that conform to the […]
