Abstract: The invention relates to a dark, flat element, preferably a plastic, lacquer coating or fiber material, having reduced density, low heat conductivity and low solar absorption. The flat element has a relatively high reflection infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum reduce heating by sunlight in the near infrared dark tinting in the visible range. Low density conductivity are obtained inter alia by inserting in the near in order to area despite and low heat light filling materials into the flat element. Said flat element can be used in places where surfaces are dark tinted for aesthetic or technical reasons but should not heat up in sunlight and should give off little heat when touched by hand or by other parts of the body. Other areas of application include surfaces which should have a heat insulating effect in addition to the above-mentioned characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat element comprised of a substrate and of at least one coating that covers the substrate. Both the substrate and the surface are darkly imbued in the visible spectral range. In the near infrared range, this assembly has a high degree of reflection in order to, despite the dark imbuement in the visible spectral range, reduce the heating caused by sunlight.
