Products in Agricultural Films: IR Absorber

CONSTAB IR 0H100 LD serves as a mid-IR absorber, absorbing infrared (IR) radiation in the mid-infrared range. It melds effective heat insulation properties with high light diffusion. Primarily functioning as an IR absorber, it effectively manages heat absorption. This masterbatch suits both resin-based and polyethylene (PE) compounds, making it ideal for applications demanding heat control and light diffusion. Noteworthy is its efficient light scattering, ensuring even dispersion, coupled with robust heat insulation, which contributes to thermal regulation.

KAFRIT IR 0C660 LD is a mid-IR absorber with a low content of impurities, a minimal effect on light diffusion, and a low iron content. It serves as an IR absorber, compatible with carrier materials like polyethylene (PE) and resin-based compounds. Notably, the product exhibits good light diffusion properties and offers a high level of purity due to its low impurity content.

KAFRIT IR 0E32C LD is a highly transparent IR masterbatch that acts as an IR absorber. It is specifically designed to be a super diffuser, providing very high light diffusion without compromising total light transmission. The product is carried by polyethylene (PE) and resin-based compounds, making it suitable for various applications where efficient infrared absorption and excellent transparency properties are required. Its super diffuser capabilities ensure even and effective scattering of light while maintaining overall transparency and total light transmission in the application.

KAFRIT IR 20061 LD is a near-IR-reflecting masterbatch designed to decrease heat buildup inside greenhouses by reflecting near-infrared (NIR) radiation. It imparts a greenish tint to the material where it is used. The primary function of this masterbatch is as an IR absorber, allowing for efficient control of heat absorption. The product is compatible with carrier materials such as polyethylenes (PE) and resin-based compounds, making it suitable for various applications that require heat management and IR reflection.

KAFRIT IR 00R40A LD is a highly transparent IR masterbatch that serves as both a light diffuser and an IR absorber. It acts as a super diffuser, providing very high light diffusion without compromising the total light transmission. The product is compatible with carrier materials such as resin-based and polyethylene (PE) compounds, ensuring versatility in its applications.

The StanoStat CPM range are deep blue colored antimony tin oxides with a unique set of properties. CPM oxides in bulk are aggregates, consisting of nano-sized, spherical primary particles. This allows the products to be micronised in a variety of aqueous and organic solvents to nano-dispersions, which can be integrated into highly transparent, nearly colorless coatings. CPM oxides provide a high electrical conductivity and an excellent absorption of infrared light.

Irasorb CTO grades are available as powders and dispersions. In order to benefit from the superior IR absorption properties of this material, it is necessary to ensure the highest possible degree of dispersion. The CTOM10 grade offers the great advantage that it can be used directly in the extrusion or injection molding process without further pre-treatment. Formulation of Masterbatches for solar protection products is simplified.

Kritilen® I R770 contains the same Infra-Red absorber as KRITILEN® IR700, but at a higher concentration. Its proposed addition rate in LDPE or LDPE/EVA films is at the range of 2%-7%, depending on the film thickness, VA content of the film and required "thermic effect".

KRITILEN® IR550 contains an effective inorganic Infra-Red absorber. Recommended addition in LDPE films is 5%-15% depending on film thickness and required "thermic effect". For LDPE/EVA co-extruded films, recommended addition is 2%-10% depending on film thickness, VA content of the film and required "thermic effect".

Kritilen® HT 555 is a special IR-absorber that does not affect film clarity. For better results, it is recommended to combine it with EVA, at an addition of 3%-10%.

KRITILEN® IR700 contains an alternative effective Infra-Red absorber. The recommended addition rate in LDPE or LDPE/EVA films is at the range of 3%-10%, depending on the film thickness, VA content of the film and required "thermic effect". It influences the film haze at a lower degree than IR550, keeping the same high transmittance.
