UV-Vis-NIR Spectroscopy

Analysis of Natural Illumination and Thermal Insulation
A variety of functional materials, such as fabrics, are being developed
for their thermal insulation properties as well as to provide natural
lighting. It can be presumed that increasing transmittance and
lowering reflectance produce illuminating properties, while lowering
transmittance and increasing reflectance produce thermal insulation
properties. Shown are transmission and reflectance spectra of fabrics
utilizing Shimadzu’s UV-3600i Plus with the ISR-1503 integration sphere.

Analysis of Dye Colors
Textile color is an important consideration when selecting and purchasing a product. Shimadzu’s full line of UV-Vis-NIR
spectrophotometers are useful for analysis of dye colors through final product. Shimadzu’s compact UV-2600i (Double-
Beam, Single Monochromator) and UV-2700i (Double-Beam, Double Monochromator) are universal, research-grade
spectrophotometers that can be used in a wide range of fields for material characterization (solid/liquid), with the
capability of measuring very high absorbing samples and expandability to 1400 nm.
