Nano-multilayer FilmPICASUS™ IR
Nano-multilayer film “PICASUS™” is a cutting-edge film consisted of approximately a thousand layers created by high precision nano-multilayer technology.
Toray has further enhanced this nano-multilayer technology to develop an innovative solar control film called “PICASUS™ IR”. The film has glass-like transparency and infrared ray blocking performance from the sun, which is a cause of temperature increase.
PICASUS™ IR concept
“PICASUS™ IR” is able to reflect infrared ray from sunlight while maintaining glass-like transparency. It also has excellent Electromagnetic wave Transmittance (EMI-free) that does not interfere with signal transmission of communication equipment.
PICASUS™ IR reflection feature
Furthermore, PICASUS™ IR with increased solar control performance is under development (Having wider range of infrared ray reflection).
Application
Potential application of PICASUS™ IR is solar control for windows in automobiles and buildings.
Heat-Blocking Methods Comparison
PICASUS™ IR enables to achieve high solar control performance, good handling characteristics, and excellent Electromagnetic wave Transmittance if used as a base substrate.
