When you see the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation for our 3M Automotive Window Film Crystalline Series, Ceramic IR Series and Obsidian Series, this distinction is based on testing qualifications meeting the Skin Cancer Foundation criteria and standards established by their Photobiology committee to block 99% or more of UVA and UVB radiation. For nearly 40 years, the Seal has been trusted by consumers to represent safe and effective sun protection. All product applications are reviewed by a volunteer committee of dermatologists with expertise in photobiology (the study of the interaction of ultraviolet light and the skin).

Why is 3M Automotive Window Film Color Stable Series unique?

The Color Stable Series incorporates a unique process for producing nano-carbon polyester. This revolutionary process allows for maximum heat rejection without a metal film layer, which can interfere with radio and/or satellite signals. It also gives the film a stylish look with outstanding color stability, so it never turns purple.

What is nano-ceramic technology in 3M Automotive Window Film Ceramic IR Series?

Nano-ceramic technology provides a high level of infrared heat rejection due to absorptive technology. Rejection of up to 66% of the total solar energy and up to 95% of the heat-producing infrared rays (IRER+ up to 67%) gives you the ultimate in comfort. This 3M technology is compatible with 5G devices to stay connected.

1) TSER – Total Solar Energy Rejection: The percentage of total solar energy rejected by filmed glass. The higher this value, the less solar heat is transmitted.

2) VLT – Visible Light Transmitted: The percentage of visible light that passes directly through filmed glass: the higher the number, the lighter the film.

3) Ultraviolet Rejection: The percentage of ultraviolet (UV) light that is rejected by the filmed glass. UV light contributes to the fading and deterioration of fabrics and leather.

4) IRR – Infrared Rejection: The percentage of solar infrared energy rejection, over the wavelength range from 900-1,000 nm. Infrared rays are primarily responsible for the heat you feel when driving

5) IRER – Infrared Energy Rejection: The percent of solar infrared energy rejection over the wavelength range from 780–2,500 nm. IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed IR energy that will be reradiated into a car.

6) Glare Reduction: The percentage by which visible light is reduced by the addition of film.

Will 3M Automotive Window Films stop my car seats from fading?

Nothing completely stops fading. 3M Window Films are designed to help reduce the major causes of fading (ultra violet light, visible light, and solar heat), thus prolonging the life of your furnishings, perhaps as much as two to five times. Generally, ultra violet (UV) is approximately 40% of the cause, visible light is about 25%, and heat about 25%. The remaining 10% can be attributed to humidity, pollutants, interior lights, dye stability, and more.

How do 3M™ Safety and Security Window Films work?

3M™ Safety and Security Window Films are designed to make glass shatter-resistant by holding the glass pieces together when broken.
