GLS680 Visible Light Sensitive Dye – 680nm Peak for IR Cut-Off Filters, Anti-Counterfeiting & Optical Coatings

GLS680 visible light sensitive dye green powder with 680nm absorption peak

GLS680 is a high-performance visible light sensitive dye with a precise absorption peak at 680nm within the visible spectrum of 400–700nm. 

This red-edge absorbing dye offers bright green powder appearance, excellent stability, and reliable spectral control, making it an ideal choice for IR cut-off filters, anti-counterfeiting inks, optical coatings, paints, and plastic applications. As a specialized visible light absorber operating at the transition edge between visible and near-infrared regions, GLS680 enables formulators to achieve targeted wavelength rejection with exceptional precision.

  • Provides bright colors and excellent photostability
  • Suitable for IR cut-off filters requiring sharp spectral cutoff
  • Compatible with paint, coating, and plastic systems

Appearance: Green powder

入Max: 680±2nm(MA)

Solubility: Soluble in DMF, MC, TCM, and ethanol (EtOH)

Key Applications of Visible Light Sensitive Dyes of GLS680

  • IR Cut-Off Filters: Ideal for digital, smartphone, surveillance, and automotive cameras. Sharp 680nm absorption rejects NIR while maintaining high visible transmission, reducing color distortion and haze.

  • Anti-Counterfeiting Inks: Creates covert features detectable under 680nm illumination for machine-readable authentication. Protects banknotes, passports, tax stamps, pharma packaging, and luxury goods.

  • Optical Coatings: Used in precision filters, anti-reflective coatings, and notch filters that reject specific wavelengths.

  • Paints & Coatings: Additive for architectural, automotive, and specialty industrial paints requiring wavelength absorption or heat management.

  • Transparent Plastic Coloring: Compatible with PC, PMMA, and optical-grade polymers for NIR-blocking or visible-filtering components.

  • NIR Absorption Dye Systems: Combines with other dyes to create custom spectral absorption profiles.

  • Optical Filters for Displays: Improves contrast and color purity by controlling specific visible wavelengths.

  • Laser Protective Eyewear: Blocks 680nm lasers while maintaining visibility of other wavelengths – ideal for lab, industrial, and medical safety glasses.

Why Choose GLS680?

  • Red-Edge Absorption: Peak at 680nm for precise spectral cutoff between visible and near-infrared.

  • Selective Solubility: Soluble in DMF, MC, TCM, ethanol; insoluble in acetone – enables purification via acetone precipitation.

  • Excellent Stability: Consistent absorption performance under varying conditions.

  • Broad Compatibility: Works in IR cut-off filters, anti-counterfeiting inks, optical coatings, paints, plastics, and NIR dye systems.
