Infrared Radiation – natural heat
fffffffffffThe heating power of the sun is the perfect natural example. Infrared radiation is the heat which we feel in sunlight.
Like light, infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation and is transmitted just as quickly and at virtually unlimited power. Infrared radiation is transformed into heat in the material itself. With infrared technology we use the infrared radiation energy in a controlled manner.
Infrared has many spectra
Infrared emitters from Heraeus Noblelight transfer heat without contact, which can be exactly adjusted to the characteristics of the material. Infrared heat matches the absorption spectrum of plastics perfectly, which eases plastic processing. Another advantage of infrared emitters
is that they can targetedly heat the material only where needed and only as long is required for a particular process. This results in reproducible complicated heat processes and enables an automation of the process.
