ISHIHARA SANGYO Launches LUSHADE® BLACK

ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA, LTD. has recently kicked off the full-scale production of a cutting-edge black pigment known as LUSHADE® BLACK. This pigment boasts a remarkable ability to absorb over 99.0% of visible light, making it one of the most effective pigments in the industry. As the company prepares to roll out this product on a global scale, the implications of its innovative features extend to various domains, particularly within optical technologies.

Exceptional Optical Properties

LUSHADE® BLACK is specifically engineered to exhibit ultra-low reflectance, enabling it to suppress stray light effectively. This unique characteristic significantly enhances the performance of optical devices, making it particularly valuable in applications where clarity and precision are paramount. Furthermore, the pigment possesses infrared reflectivity, which opens up new possibilities for black coatings that can not only absorb visible light but also manage infrared light, preventing surface temperature increases. This is particularly beneficial for areas where heat management is crucial.

Unique Structural Composition

The pigment is crafted from bismuth sulfide and has a distinct surface structure reminiscent of sea urchin spines. This specialized morphology is what enables the pigment's extraordinary absorption capabilities. The result is an ultra-black pigment that not only minimizes reflectance but also helps in reflecting infrared light, providing a dual advantage for various coatings.

Diverse Applications

LUSHADE® BLACK is set to become a game changer across multiple industries. Here are some anticipated applications:

1. Black Coating for Optical Lens Edges: The low reflectance property is utilized to prevent stray light, thereby enhancing optical performance in lenses.
2. Low-Reflectance Coating in Camera Modules: Integration of this pigment in camera modules can reduce internal reflections, contributing to sharper and clearer image quality.
3. Infrared-Reflective Black Coatings: The pigment’s adaptability makes it ideal for infrared-reflective coatings often used in infrared devices such as LiDAR systems, along with applications that require temperature management.

Given the growing demand for advanced materials in high-tech applications, LUSHADE® BLACK is expected to support the next-generation optical technologies and could become a fundamental material across various sectors.
