WINDOW TINTING FILM
Blocking heat and radiation
Black-Silver Film
Reflective on the outside, with ablue-grey tint.
Catalogue and Spec
Films designed to block radiation and heat from the sun, often referred to as "Anti-Sun," have been available since the early 1970s.
This field has seen continuous technological advancements, with ongoing improvements in the quality of the films to enhance heat and glare rejection while ensuring greater durability over time.
Anti-Sun films are among the most effective solutions for protecting against radiation, glare, and heat buildup in offices and buildings. Window shading is achieved using a special material that blocks over 99% of incoming radiation.
Anti-Sun films are highly popular in stores, public buildings, shopping malls, and even private homes.
Heat comes from three primary sources:
- UV (Ultraviolet): 10%
- Visible Light: 45%
- IR (Infrared): 45%
Blocking heat and radiation eliminates the need for curtains or blinds, allowing work on computers without glare or brightness issues (even on the non-sun side).
TECHNOLOGY The evolution of window film technology The evolution of window film technology has progressed significantly since its beginnings in the 1930s. Initially developed as "Tea Paper" with basic light insulation, window films have undergone six major technological generations, enhancing their functionality and performance. Here's a summary:
1. First Generation: Tea Paper
- Basic hiding function with minimal thermal and UV insulation.
- Low durability (fades in one year) and contains hazardous adhesives like formaldehyde and benzene.
2. Second Generation: Dyeing Film
- Dye applied directly to the adhesive layer, offering limited thermal and UV insulation.
- Moderate lifespan (two years) but low definition and hazardous adhesives persist.
3. Third Generation: Vacuum Aluminium Plating Film
- Utilises vacuum thermal evaporation to coat aluminium on the film base.
- Offers moderate thermal insulation, higher durability (five years), and improved definition.
4. Fourth Generation: Nano Ceramic Film
- Employs coating or magnetron sputtering to evenly distribute nano ceramic particles.
- Absorbs heat effectively, offers over seven years of durability, and does not interfere with wireless signals.
5. Fifth Generation: Magnetron Sputtering Metal Film
- Uses electromagnetic induction to apply precious metals (gold, silver, titanium, nickel).
- Provides better definition, higher thermal insulation, and lasting durability (over seven years).
6. Sixth Generation: Multi-Layer Magnetron Sputtering Metal Film
- Sprays multiple layers of precious metal alloys using electromagnetic induction.
- Represents the pinnacle of window film technology with high definition, superior thermal insulation, low light reflection, scratch resistance, and anti-burst properties.
Each generation builds on advancements in material and manufacturing techniques, culminating in modern, high-performance films with a wide range of applications.
