WHY USE HIQUE ?   Why does snow appear white, although the composition consist of two colorless components air and water. Snow is formed by precipitation of small columnar ice crystals from water at Sub-zero temperatures in the upper atmosphere. During formation, air is trapped inside the Crystal Latices, and because the refractive indices of Air and water/ ice are different (ICE ni=1.3, AIR na=1.0). Light is effectively scattered back within the Matrix. Thus, when sunlight impinges on the snow structure, the majority of the light is scattered back or reflected out snow its very characteristic white appearance. HIQUE mimics this natural snow structure. The microstructure of HIQUE consists of a very small polymer bead with a hollow void, filled with air. Refractive index of the polymer is np=1.5 and Air is na=1.0. Thus when light hits the polymer, it appears brilliant white. Opaque polymer HIQUE - as white as the driven snow, enhancing our beautiful world!
