Traditionally, dark-colored plastics have faced a significant challenge: heat absorption leading to warping, surface temperature rise, and even compromised product performance. Teknor Apex's SpectraCool™ technology tackles this issue head-on. By incorporating specially engineered additives into the plastic resin, SpectraCool significantly reduces heat build-up during sun exposure. This translates to several key benefits for your product:
- Diminished surface temperature that remains cool to touch
- Minimized/eliminated distortion
- Reduced or eliminated costly additives (ex: heat distortion modifiers)
- Retained long-lasting, vibrant color
- Weatherability
