Sunlight Heat-ray Reflection Fibers
■ Technology Overview
Sunlight near-infrared(NIR)accounts for 51% of sunlight's total energy and is the primary heat-ray of sunlight. ITRI develops NIR heat-ray reflective textiles which incorporates NIR-reflecting materials into fibers. These fibers effectively reflect NIR heat-ray of sunlight, promoting healthy and comfortable outdoor wear during the sweltering summer heat.
■ Features
The NIR heat-ray reflective materials were utilized for textile coatings、film laminates、wet-spinning fibers and melt-spinning fibers. Our manufacturing process involves material modification(making it wash durable), superior to the commercial processes (making it without wash durability). In NIR heat-ray reflection tests, this textile exhibited lower temperatures than commercially available products.
■ Applications
▶ It can be used in various textile processes, including spinning, laminating, and surface coating.
▶ Sunlight-reflecting powders & dispersions & spinning masterbatches.
▶ Sunlight-reflecting fabrics can be used in apparel and functional outdoor textiles.
Sunlight Heat-ray Absorption Fibers
■ Technology Overview
Sunlight near-infrared(NIR)accounts for 51% of sunlight's total energy. ITRI develops NIR heatray absorptive textiles which incorporates NIR heat-ray absorptive materials into fibers. These fibers effectively absorb NIR heat-ray of sunlight, promoting healthy and comfortable outdoor wear during the cold winter days.
■ Features
The NIR heat-ray absorptive materials were utilized for textile coatings、film laminates、 wet-spinning fibers and melt-spinning fibers. Our manufacturing process involves material modification(making it wash durable), superior to the commercial processes(without wash durability). In NIR heat-ray absorption tests, this textile exhibited higher absorption and thus higher temperatures than commercially available products.
■ Applications
▶ It can be used in various textile processes, including Spinning、laminating and surface coating.
▶ NIR heat-ray absorptive powders、dispersions and masterbatches.
▶ NIR heat-ray absorptive fabrics can be used in apparel and functional outdoor textiles.
