PeroLaB® – UV and NIR absorber
The colorless inorganic nano-absorber from Sindlhauser
PeroLaB® has the special property of absorbing radiation in the near infrared range (800 – 1200 nm) and in the UV range (250 – 400 nm) – the inorganic nano-absorber is almost colorless. The main property of converting the absorbed radiation (= light from lasers, LEDs or spotlights, for example) quickly and efficiently into heat makes the patented PeroLaB® an additive for a wide range of applications, such as laser welding of plastics and textiles, 3D printing, safety markings and light protection.
Due to the high melting point of over 2000 °C it can even be used in high-performance plastics, ceramics and metals
Absorption spectrum of PeroLaB®
The heat can be used – locally and in a controlled manner – to heat up, melt, sinter, mark, heat or decompose materials as well as to stimulate and accelerate certain chemical processes.
Applied as a film, plastic sheet or as a solution on glass or plastic windows, PeroLaB® also protects against UV radiation and prevents the penetration of (warm) IR radiation through glass or plastic panes.
