UV protection film is a thin, specialized polyester coating applied to glass (windows, screens, etc.) that blocks up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, preventing fading, discoloration, and skin damage by reflecting or absorbing UV light while often remaining clear and allowing visible light to pass through, extending the life of interiors and protecting occupants.
Key Features
- UV Blocking: Rejects most UVA/UVB rays, protecting furniture, art, and skin from aging and damage.
- High Clarity: Often colorless and transparent, maintaining window clarity and visibility.
- Heat Reduction: Blocks solar heat, reducing glare and improving energy efficiency.
- Material: Typically multi-layered polyester with UV inhibitors and absorbers.
- Durability: Enhances glass strength and helps hold fragments if broken, offering safety.
Applications
- Homes & Offices: Protects furniture, flooring, and art in sun-exposed rooms.
- Vehicles: Used as window tint for comfort, privacy, and protection.
- Retail & Museums: Protects merchandise, displays, and artwork from fading.
- Electronics: Protects LCD screens and touchscreens from UV degradation.
How it Works
- Absorption/Reflection: Contains layers that absorb UV light or reflect it away from the interior.
- Installation: Usually applied with a soapy water solution for smooth, bubble-free adhesion.
