TIPAQUE BLACK for Plastics

Black That Beats The Heat

Minimizing heat buildup and enables plastics that accomplishes comfortability and dimensional stability.
No complicated blending necessary.

CHALLENGE IN BLACK PLASTICS

Why heat matters in plastic applications

In outdoor plastic components, heat generated by
conventional black pigments can lead to:

  • Warpage and dimensional instability
  • Accelerated material aging
  • Reduced comfort and usability (e.g., decking surfaces)
  • Design limitations for dark colors

WHY TIPAQUE BLACK SG‑101 FOR PLASTICS

Functional benefits

  • Reduced temperature rise under sunlight
  • Lower risk of warpage and deformation
  • Maintains true black appearance
  • High NIR reflectance without sacrificing color
  • Chromium‑free inorganic pigment option
  • Potential contribution to NIR‑based recyclability
