Compositions that can be used in the formation of products with near infrared (IR) reflective capacity are disclosed. A composition may include IR reflective pigments and / or non-white IR transmission pigments and may be formed with a viscosity suitable for successfully coating substrates, for example, threads, suitable for use in the formation of coatings for architectural openings, for example, window coverings. Also disclosed are textile substrates coated with the compositions, including textile substrates coated with compositions that include abrasive IR-reflective dark inorganic pigments. |
