• It features a chromium and lead-free formula with an aesthetically pleasing color and high total solar reflectance for improved performance and appearance.
• It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers without causing warping.
• Typical applications include coatings and other industries where similar pigment chemistry is applied.
• Arctic® NTP Yellow 10P150 is suitable for various applications, including building and construction (such as extrusion siding, windows, and doors), automotive (for both interior and exterior parts) and electronics.
• It is patented under US Patent 8,192,541, with additional foreign patents filed under WO/2011/156362 and PCT/US2011/039432.
• It complies with EN71.3, AP(89)1, AS 2070-1999, TCLP, BfR, CONEG, ELV, RoHS, WEEE and Packaging 94/62/EC.

TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha is an environment-friendly, IR-reflective black pigment. It is a chromium-free, neutral black pigment composed of calcium titanium manganese oxide (Ca, Ti, Mn)O₃. It offers reduced warpage & deformation due to its temperature rise suppression properties and maintains true black appearance. It offers potential recyclability benefits through NIR detectability.

• It enables deep black coatings with reduced heat build-up, while maintaining design flexibility and supporting cool roof and energy regulations without compromising color.
• It is designed for heat-shielding applications.
• TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 offers excellent reflectance in the near-infrared region (780-2500 nm).
• It reduces NIR absorption across a wide range of dark shades, not just pure black.
• It is used in architectural/decorative coatings, automotive OEM coatings, general industrial maintenance and metal coatings.
• It is listed with ENCS and TSCA.

Regional availability and approved end-uses may vary; Ishihara will confirm fit with your inquiry.
