Ludwigshafen (ots)

The new edition of BASF's innovation podcast "Chemistry of 
Innovations" talks about how special color pigments avoid dark colors
to heat up in the sun. Innovative chemistry helps to add special 
properties to paints.
In the car, at home, in the office. Dark coated surfaces that 
swallow the sunlight grow hot and give off the heat to their 
surroundings. An innovative development of color pigments now 
provides the effect of surfaces staying cooler. Even at deep black 
surfaces this special color pigments cut the solar heat buildup due 
to incident sunlight in half. The trick: the special pigments help 
the material to reflect more sunlight than to absorb - dark surfaces,
components or construction elements thus remain pleasantly cool. The 
applications for the cool pigments are numerous: for solar heat 
management in construction, for use in coating and printing ink 
industries or for artificial leather.
