Portfolio – A product range for every need

Sicoflush® are liquid solvent-borne ranges based of transparent iron-oxides and black.

Xfast® is in solid delivery form, offering the state-of-the-art stir-in performance for optimum processing and full product utilization.

Luconyl® NG is in liquid delivery form, offering the broadest coloristic possibilities for VOC-free and label-free under GHS future regulations for IPT and POS application.

Microlith® are three ranges in solid delivery form with a unique particle size distribution optimized for different systems and easy-to-disperse.

Intention of Solar Heat Management

Reflect more solar radiation from colored surfaces, while keeping the color as requested

Keep surfaces cooler

Allow flexibility in color design while being compliant with regulations

Enhance the personal thermal comfort feeling

Maintain constructional strength and surface material durability under solar irradiation

Contribute to a reduced “Urban Heat Island Effect”

10

Keeping your dark shades “cooler”

Effect of using Xfast Black 0095 or Luconyl NG Black instead of carbon black exhibits results as expected, lower temperature uptake. Differences observed up to 13°C.

Offering: Longer color retention & increased durability of wood and wood constructions with respect to shrinkage, cracking, etc.

Darker shades (higher black content) will of course have the greater effect on heat uptake when swapping to Xfast Black 0095 but will also have the highest cost increase shades.
