Filter Series

Asahi Kasei's DELPET™︎ Filter series is a methacrylic resin that selectively transmits near-infrared radiation using proprietary techniques. It is used as a cover for remote controls and sensors.

Filter Series

Transmitted by near-infrared rays
To the remote control or sensor

The DELPET™ ︎Filter series appears completely black at first glance, but its unique technology allows only near-infrared light to pass through. It has good weather resistance and can be used as a cover for remote controls and sensors. If you are considering using it, please contact us.
