Visible Opaque Infrared Transmitting Dyes for Thermoplastics
Epolin’s Epolight™ Visible Opaque, Infra-Red Transmitting (VOIRT) dyes for thermoplastics produce visually opaque to semi-opaque (grey or colored) filters while transmitting infrared signals or information. VOIRT filters can be customized to optimize transmission or reduce noise in 720nm -1050nm wavelengths and beyond. Typical applications include digital electronics such as IR remotes, ports, proximity sensors, night […]

Managing 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.
