Spectre™ 340

9/8/2010 12:00:00 AM

Epolin developed an ink for Microsoft Corporation which is visibly clear but absorbs near-infrared light. The product was originally numbered DT2-74A. Today the product is named Spectre™ 340.

Spectre 340 is a solvent based screen ink which is available in standard sizes of 30ml, 100ml and 1 liter containers.

Epolight™ 6818 phthalocyanine dye

8/2/2010 12:00:00 AM

Epolin has introduced a new 719nm absorbing dye, Epolight™ 6818. This is a notch absorber with high absorptivity and reasonable visible light transmittance.

Epolight 6818 is extremely stable and is suitable for injection molding thermoplastics, especially polycarbonate. The dye also has some solubility in organic solvents and can be considered for use in coatings.

Epolight™ 6818 is available for sale or sampling.

The Daisy Dye

2/28/2008 12:00:00 AM

Epolin has introduced a new 800nm absorbing dye, Epolight™ 5768. This is a notch absorber ideal for the diode laser. The dye provides very high absorptivity and high visible light transmittance.

Epolight 5768 is thermally stable and is suitable for both solvent based coatings and injection molding thermoplastics, especially polycarbonate.

Nick-named the "Daisy Dye" after a favorite pet, Epolight™ 5768 is available for sale or sampling.

Dye formulations for Sun Lens Makers

1/18/2007 12:00:00 AM

Epolin has developed dye formulations that provide protection from the suns harmful UV and NIR radiation. While most sun lenses protect against UV very few provide near infrared protection.

200-1065nm Visible Opaque Series

9/28/2006 10:33:00 AM

Our visible opaque dye series has expanded and now blocks more regions of the visible and NIR spectrum. The Epolight™ 7527 dye series is specifically formulated for solubility in organic solvents.

Visible Opaque Dyes for Coatings and Inks

3/1/2005 12:00:00 AM

Coating with visible opaque dyes The Epolight™ series of visible opaque dyes recently highlighted in this space attracted much attention. Customers brought to our notice applications for these formulated dyes we could not have guessed existed.

Thermally Stable, Visible Light Absorbing Dyes

10/1/2004 12:00:00 AM

Visible light absorbing dyes! You want visible light absorbing dyes? Well, take a peek at what we have to offer. This entire series of dyes, covering the red to blue portion of the spectrum, are thermally stable and can be used for injection molding, cell casting and coatings.

Visible Opaque Coatings

9/1/2004 12:00:00 AM

Our “What’s New” department took a break for the summer months not returning until now but chock full of new things to report. One of the choices is related to a February “What’s New” report on a class of dye compositions referred to as visible opaques (7276A through F).These compositions were and are used to block out visible light and varying amounts of the near infrared (NIR).

Blue Broad Band Absorption Dye

5/1/2004 12:00:00 AM

It has come to our attention that customers working with certain coating systems had problems making near infrared transparencies in blue shades. They said that most of the available blue dyes were either insufficiently soluble in the coating media or unstable to the lamination process, undergoing wavelength shifts or disappearing in the heating cycle.

Narrow Band, Visible Light Absorbing Dyes

4/1/2004 12:00:00 AM

In developing new formulations for injection molding of optical filters we saw a need for narrow band, highly thermally stable, visible light absorbing dyes to use with our near infrared (NIR) dyes. These dyes will not interact with NIR dyes but will block a very narrow band of the visible light spectrum.

Visible Opaque Dyes Developed for Security Printing

2/1/2004 12:00:00 AM

Epolin produces coatings and security inks that can be viewed with night vision (NV) instruments to appear black against a normal night vision background. The reason this occurs is because the NV system has a visible light filter over the detector allowing only near infrared light to pass.
