SHOWA DENKO K.K. provides dyes that can absorb lights the wavelengths of which are in the region of near infrared rays (NIRs). The dyes can be used as an NIR-absorbing material. Moreover, they can cause polymerization and decoloration when used in combination with specific organic borates and a long-wave light.
SHOWA DENKO 's IRT can absorb lights whose wavelengths are up to 817-820 nm and has second absorption band at around 640 nm.
This molar absorption coefficient is larger than 105.
