Applications of NIR Absorbing Dye NIR1072
Laser Safety Goggles & Protective Lenses
NIR1072 is primarily suitable for the development of laser safety goggles, protective lenses and optical windows designed to attenuate near-infrared laser radiation around 1070nm. When incorporated into a suitable lens or polymer formulation, NIR1072 can absorb part of the incident 1070nm laser energy and help reduce transmission through the protective optical component. The final protection performance depends on dye concentration, lens thickness, polymer matrix, wavelength range, laser power, exposure time and optical density requirements. NIR1072 can be evaluated in polycarbonate, resin, coating and film systems for fiber laser protection, laser welding equipment, laser cutting systems, laser marking machines and other industrial laser environments.
- Targeted 1070nm Absorption: Nominal absorption maximum of 1070 ± 2 nm in MC for wavelength-selective laser protection.
- Suitable for Protective Eyewear: Designed for evaluation in laser safety goggles, protective lenses and optical windows.
- Polymer and Coating Compatibility: Can be incorporated into suitable PC, resin, coating and film systems.
- Controlled Optical Performance: The final dye loading and lens thickness can be adjusted to achieve the required balance between laser attenuation and visible-light transmission.
Security Printing & Anti-Counterfeiting
Added to security inks, NIR1072 provides invisible near-infrared absorption features that can be detected with NIR readers but remain undetectable to the naked eye. Ideal for banknotes, passports, and product authentication labels.
Optical Filters & Sensors
Used in NIR cut-off filters, bandpass filters, and sensor applications to block or manage specific near-infrared wavelengths (around 1072 nm) while maintaining high visible light transmission.
Thermal Management & Heat Insulation
Incorporated into coatings, films, or polymer masterbatches, NIR1072 helps manage heat buildup by absorbing NIR radiation, making it suitable for energy-saving window films and electronic device thermal management.

RFQ
What is NIR1072 used for?
A: NIR1072 is primarily used for the development of 1070nm laser-protective eyewear, lenses, optical windows and polymer-based protective components. It can also be evaluated for laser welding, laser marking, optical filters, security inks and functional coatings.
Can NIR1072 be used in laser safety goggles?
Yes. NIR1072 can be evaluated as an absorbing additive in suitable PC, resin, coating or film systems for 1070nm laser safety goggles and protective lenses. The finished eyewear must be tested for optical density, spectral transmission and compliance with applicable laser-safety standards.
Does NIR1072 provide protection against all laser wavelengths?
No. NIR1072 is designed for absorption around the 1070nm region. Protection against other laser wavelengths requires appropriate absorbing materials, optical designs and independent testing.
Will NIR1072 affect visible-light transmission?
NIR1072 is intended for near-infrared absorption with relatively low absorption through much of the visible region. However, the final visible-light transmission, color and clarity depend on dye loading, lens thickness, polymer type and formulation.
Is NIR1072 suitable for fiber laser applications?
NIR1072 may be evaluated for protective eyewear and optical components used around 1070nm fiber laser systems, including laser welding, cutting and marking equipment. Final suitability should be confirmed through application-specific laser testing.
