nice post. Similar technology or windon tints have been out for some time. my old Merc CL600 (2001) came from the factory, with special glass that removes or reduces ( i may be wrong, but im recalling what i was told) the UV (?) thereby reducing the temprature of the inside of the car.

 

The solar spectrum consists of UV, IR, and Visible Light. UV only accounts for 3% of the solar spectrum, with IR @ 53% and visible light @ 44%. You are correct in stating that UV coating on glass has been around for quite some time, but it does little to reduce heat. It is infrared rejection that accounts for heat rejection, not UV block.

In this case, PhotoSync blocks up to 98.5% of infrared, 99.5% of UVA and UVB.

Here is a link to our comparison with factory Porsche thermal IR glass (this is a newer technology product offered at the OEM level). Notice, the difference in heat rejection compared to the windshield, which only has a UV coating?

Nano window film - now this is technology! - Teamspeed.com

 

Here is a different angle shot. PhotoSync45 (45% VLT), 98.5% IR rejection

 

With the current heat wave across the country, this would be the perfect addition to any car.

General Specs:

Total Solar Energy Rejection up to 65%
IR (infrared) rejection up to 98.5%
UVA UVB block 99.5%

Manufacturer: PRESTIGE FILM TECHNOLOGIES
Website: Prestige Film Technologies - Prestige Clear Guard, CarboniteHD, ClearVue, Image Capture Film, Screen Protector and ViewBlock

Per some requests, here is another angle shot.

 

Just some more information to help members here understand better how this nano window film compares to other products out there

The solar spectrum consists of Visible Light (44%), Infrared (53%), and Ultraviolet (3%). Since infrared accounts for 53% of the solar spectrum, the performance of the product in this form of measure is quite important. Most dyed window films on the market only produce infrared rejection of 20%-30%. By comparison, PhotoSync blocks out up to 98.5% of infrared. The uniqueness of this product is that it's infrared rejecting capabilities improve as it gets hotter...

Some of the metallized films on the market will produce some impressive results; however, at the sacrifice of interfering with electronics. PhotoSync uses nano technology to produce significant heat rejection without affecting items like cell phone signals, radar detection signals, am / fm, etc.

 

Conducted another test since we have been receiving inquiries to test PhotoSync against ceramic

Test: PhotoSync vs. a leading ceramic tint at 40%

 

You guys' work seriously never ceases to amaze me.

 

Another test we conducted recently. With Prestige Film Technologies' Spectra PhotoSync Nano Window Film. We decided to document this test to show how well this product performs compared to a leading 30% ceramic tint. The previous test was done compared to a ceramic 40%. Test specs:

Spectra PhotoSync 65% (yes, we are using a lighter film to compare with a darker 30% ceramic tint)
*product to the left

VS.

30% Ceramic (one of the more popular ceramic tint products on the market....sorry, we are not going to name the manufacturer of this product, but can say it is likely the most well-known on the market)
*product to the right

Conditions:

Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees

Test Time: 2pm

Measurement Equipment: BTU Meter aimed directly at the window films to obtain simultaneous readings for accuracy

Test Subject: Raging Gray Bull named the Aventador
