The interior temperature of automobiles occasionally exceeds 50°C on extremely hot days, creating the risks of heatstroke and unexpected accidents. Mitsubishi Materials’ solar heat-ray shielding paint actively serves as a countermeasure to these risks.
Applying the paint to automobile glass doesn’t only absorb and block near-ul- traviolet rays to prevent a rise in the interior temperature of automobiles but also lowers the load on air conditioners to reduce electricity consumption.
The solar heat-ray shielding paint was originally created for building window glass, but while taking advantage of the product’s strength in high transparency, we have improved it since its launch. As a result, the product was adopted for automobiles in 2002. We have secured a leading market share for over 20 years by proposing appropriate materials from a diverse line-up that are in line with various applications.
In the present day, the electrification of automobiles is accelerating. Reducing electricity consumption leads to an increase in travel distance, so there is a growing need for a higher performing solar heat-ray shielding paint. Going forward, we will continue to use our technology in order to create a next-generation solar heat-ray shield- ing paint that satisfies our customers’ requests and social needs.

Applying Solar Heat-ray Shielding ITO Paint creates a transparent, heat-resistant membrane that blocks near-infrared rays, which easily turn into heat. At the same time, this paint does not block electromagnetic waves emitted from mobile phones, ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) equipment, or other devices. It also excels in durability.
