The near-infrared light radiated by the particles has a wavelength ranging from 2 ?m to 22 ?m. Accordingly, the product made from the masterbatch, such as the near-infrared radiation absorbing fiber, plate, or film can not only absorb sunlight and store heat, but also radiate far-infrared light. Hence, the product has a thermal effect for keeping the human body warm and can serve as indoor and outdoor heat storing products at the same time.
