Uv absorbing and ir attenuating compositions for textiles and methods of application

摘要

A composition and method used to impart UV radiation absorbing and IR radiation reflecting properties to textiles. The composition includes a benzotriazole derivative-type UV radiation absorbing chemical, a hindered amine light stabilizer capable of reflecting IR radiation, and an emulsifier which enables the two ingredients to form an emulsion for use with currently used textile color application processes. A method of manufacturing textiles using the above composition is also provided.
