ROWA Lack is expanding its portfolio in the ROWALID® TIM range. In addition to silver and gold metallic effect lacquers the portfolio now also includes low-e (low emissivity) products for lacquering soft PVC-coated fabrics.
Sustainability is of utmost importance at ROWA Lack who demonstrate this not only through certification in the fields of environmental and energy management according to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 50001:2011 and a silver medal Ecovadis CSR rating (Corporate Social Responsibility), but also through the recurring development of sustainable product solutions.
With ROWALID® TIM-95210 a solvent-based product with excellent low-e properties is now available to customers. Corresponding lacquering of PVC-coated fabrics gives a diffuse infrared reflexion of about 60% and an emissivity of less than 0.3. Current standard products have a reflexion of only 5% and an emissivity of about 0.9. One example of use for this special ROWALID® TIM-95210 property is the thermal regulation of tent structures. If the low-e coating is applied to the outside of the tent, heating by solar radiation will be reduced which will in turn reduce, as a consequence, the energy requirements for air conditioning. Alternatively, if the low-e coating is applied to the inside of the tent, less heat escapes from the tent to the outside thus reducing heating requirements.
In addition to the above-mentioned properties, ROWALID® TIM-95210 has high flexibility and very good interlayer adhesion – important properties for the durability of the lacquered goods. The use of SVHC solvents was also completely dispensed with in the development of the new lacquer.
