ColdBlack

by Schoeller Textil AG · Switzerland · PLA292 · Published 11 Dec 2007
About this material

ColdBlack is a black dynamic and dryskin fabrics feature with a surface which absorbs less heat, similar to the motorcycle fabrics previously introduced. As everyone knows, dark clothes, jackets, pants or shorts, heat up when exposed to direct sunlight. In order to alter the heat build-up, the surface of the new type of material is treated with ColdBlack, a special finishing technology. It influences reflection in the IR spectrum so that even dark colors reflect the sunlight in the same way that lighter colors do. The ColdBlack-treated fabric reflects the IR rays and appears almost as white in the invisible IR spectrum, while it retains its black color in the visible spectrum. By comparison: white reflects up to 100 %, black in contrast, as little as 0 %.
