KAFRIT IR 6B491 PC

1 of 154 products in this brand
KAFRIT IR 6B491 PC is a polycarbonate designed to ensure that near-infrared (NIR) is reflected, enabling architects and other users to create efficient and cost-effective covered spaces. It addresses major global trends such as climate change, mobility, a growing population, and increasing urbanization, necessitating better solutions to achieve zero emissions, low-energy building efficiency, lightweight transportation, improved housing structures, and more efficient public infrastructure. More than 50% of the light is invisible and translates into heat (NIR). This polycarbonate is a modification of KAFRIT IR 0F680 PC, combined with a blue pigment. It offers unique properties to meet the desired requirements for various applications.

Features & Benefits

Heat Management Product Overview
  • In today‘s world energy savings are essential and play an important role in designing the world‘s future. The major global trends such as climate changes, mobility, growing population and increasing urbanization require by better solutions to insure: zero emissions, low energy building, efficient and lightweight transportation, better housing structure and system and more efficient public infrastructure.
  • More than 50% of the light is invisible and translates into heat (NIR). This heat is accumulated under covered spaces and requires energy in order to control the temperature under such structures.
  • Kafrit NIR PC Masterbatches are designed to insure that NIR is reflected and therefore allows architects and other users to insure that covered spaces are efficient and cost effective. With our versatile portfolio while using unique proprietary we offer a wide range of optimized solutions to answer tomorrow‘s demand.
