WHY LUSHADE® BLACK?

More Than Just Black

LUSHADE® BLACK is a structural black pigment that absorbs over 99% of visible light, creating an exceptionally deep matte appearance while offering unique infrared characteristics.

Its proprietary microstructure enables new possibilities beyond conventional black pigments in optical, sensing, and thermal management applications.

Key Benefits:

  • Ultra-low visible light reflectance (absorbs over 99% of visible light)
  • Deep matte black appearance
  • Reduced glare and stray light
  • Infrared reflective characteristics
  • Easy formulation compared with conventional ultra-black coatings
