UV filter films: Effective protection against UV radiation
The high-quality window films are able to absorb 99.9% of the aggressive UV light. Once placed on the window pane, objects can be exposed to daylight for a much longer time before the first signs of fading appear. With the self-adhesive coatings the new condition of displays, furniture and exhibits can be effectively extended.
UV radiation mainly responsible for fading damages
Colourings absorb the sun’s radiation. This transfers chemical energy to the colourings. As a result, chemical bonds in the color molecules get destroyed. The UV rays are so energetic that they directly split some colourings. This leads to the well-known bleaching phenomena.
The UV filter film absorbs harmful UV radiation and provides permanent UV protection.
The following factors are responsible for the occurrence of the described bleaching damages: Aggressive and invisible UV radiation (approx. 40%), visible solar and infrared radiation (approx. 25%), visible daylight (approx. 25%) and other factors such as UV-intensive shop window lightings (approx. 10%). Self-adhesive UV filter films for windows and glass panes offer an effective protection against these unpleasant effects.
Effective blocking of 99.9% harmful UV radiation
The UV blocking film is a crystal clear or tinted polyester foil. It is built up in several thin layers. It is equipped with a highly effective UV absorber in the adhesive layer and polyester material. This UV absorber ensures that the harmful UV light is blocked before it can attack coloured structures.
Normal glazings allow UV radiation to pass through unhindered in the invisible light wave range of 300 to 380 nanometers (NM). Crystal clear and tinted UV absorbing films are able to absorb 99.9% of the aggressive UV rays in this area. The model Amber also absorbs approx. 95% of aggressive UV radiation in the light wave range up to approx. 500 NM. Premature economic damages can thus be effectively avoided.
With the help of the highly effective UV foils, objects can withstand daylight up to 4 times longer before the first bleaching effects occur. The excellent clarity of the foils ensures a realistic color rendering of the goods, exhibits and furnishings. Protect the colored structures of your furnishings with an inexpensive high-performance coating.
Knowing where: The right place for the UV filter film
UV filter films can be laid on smooth glass surfaces, shop windows, window panes and doors made of glass. There are many possible uses for UV absorbing films. There are many places where UV blocking coatings can help:
Shop windows in retail stores
Goods presented in shop windows are exposed to aggressive UV rays, especially during days with strong sunlight. The crystal clear or light gray window coating offers an excellent protection for shop windows in retail stores, department stores and shopping malls.
Glass panes in museums, exhibitions and vernissages
Bleaching phenomena on exhibits in museums and exposed goods in retail stores cause serious economic damage. Such damage can be effectively combated in museums, exhibitions and vernissages if windows and glass panes are coated with our high quality coatings.
Windows in living rooms and commercial buildings
With the UV coating, the color structure of home and office accessories is ideally protected against progressive bleaching effects. Carpets, curtains, tables, chairs, sofas and pictures look like new for a much longer time if windows in living rooms and commercial buildings are coated with our UV absorbing foils.
Glass panes in chip industry, repro institutes, photo studios
Repro institutes, photo studios, companies of the circuit board and chip industry are among our satisfied customers. They rely on an effective UV block on their glass panes in order to protect radiation-sensitive production processes in the light wave range of up to 500 NM.
Glazed shop counters in the food sector
Our UV absorbing foils contain neither harmful substances, nor do they emit harmful substances. The window films can therefore be used without hesitation in supermarkets, candy stores and coffee shops, where they are installed to glass counters in order to protect food.
Window panes in order to protect health
Aggressive UV light is responsible for sunburn and premature skin aging. With the use of our UV blocking coatings you can protect your health at home, but also the health of your employees in the office, hotels and airports from these health risks.
Step by step: Correct installation of UV blocking films
The UV blocking films are installed to the interior side of the window pane. The self-adhesive UV foils are installed using the so-called wet adhesive process. Read how to install the coating step by step:
- Cut the foil so that the edges of the film have an all around distance of 1-2 mm to the window edge (rubber).
- Then thoroughly clean the surface to be glued and spray it with release and lubricant agent (installation liquid).
- Peel off the protective film on the back of the coating and also spray the adhesive side with installation liquid.
- Apply the wet film to the wet window pane and place it so that it has the right and final position on the pane.
- Squeeze everything bubble free with a squeegee. Starting evenly from the center to the outside of the foil edge.
- Finally, the wet edges only need to be wiped dry and the installation of the window coating is done.
💡 Tip: If you wish, we cut the foil to the desired size (millimeter-cutting). Detailed installation instructions with lots of tips and tricks are included with every shipment free of charge. They are available online for free download as well.
Care tips: How UV absorbing films last a long time
In most cases, the foils are attached to glass surfaces which are used on a daily basis. With the right care, the window panes will look like new for a long time. Here are some care tips on how UV foils last a particularly long time:
- Areas coated with uv block coatings should always be cleaned wet. Small particles can cause scratches when cleaning with a dry cloth.
- Aggressive cleaning agents that contain abrasive particles should not be used. A mild detergent or conventional glass cleaner is better.
- So cleaning is best done with plenty of water. A rubber squeegee and commercially available glass cleaning agents are suitable aids.
- The best cleaning results are achieved when wiping from the foil center to the edge. This is an ideal way to wash out water and dirt.
💡 Tip: Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of the protective films. Cleaning is best done with commercially available cleaning agents, plenty of water and a rubber squeegee.
