When purchasing automotive insulation film, several performance indicators closely related to quality should not be ignored.
1. Transparency and clarity of the film
This is the most important performance of vehicle films related to driving safety. It is recommended that users try not to choose films with too low transmittance. Window films, especially films for the windows on both sides of the front row, should choose films with a transmittance of more than 85%. More appropriate. At this time, the side window film does not need to be drilled and does not affect the line of sight. When driving at night, it can also reduce the strong glare reflection of the headlights from behind on the rear mirror, making it very comfortable for the eyes. In addition, good visibility can be ensured when driving, reversing, and turning around on rainy nights.
2. Thermal insulation performance Thermal insulation rate is an important indicator that reflects the thermal insulation performance of window film.
Taking into account the climatic factors of long summers, high temperatures, and strong sunshine in Guangdong, the thermal insulation performance of window films must be high. Good quality car insulation film can reflect infrared rays, so the temperature inside the car is much lower, which in turn reduces the load on the air conditioner and saves fuel. If the car owner makes a judgment, the method is very simple. Just use filmed glass to block the sun and feel its heat insulation effect with your face or hands.
3. Explosion-proof performance This is also another important performance related to safety.
High-quality thermal insulation film itself has strong toughness. After the glass is broken, it can be firmly adhered by the film without splashing and hurting people, and it has strong impact resistance. Inferior thermal insulation film feels very soft, lacks sufficient toughness, is not resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and is prone to aging and brittleness.
4. UV blocking rate
For high-quality membranes, this indicator is generally not less than 98%, and can reach 100%. The high UV blocking rate can effectively prevent people in the car from being exposed to excessive ultraviolet rays and burn their skin, and can also protect the speakers in the car from being damaged by the sun. Many inferior membranes do not have this indicator, or are far below the 98% standard.
5. Color
The color can be matched according to the car body color and personal preferences. Usually use lighter green, sky blue, gray, brown, natural colors and other colors that are more comfortable for the eyes.
6. Anti-scratch layer on membrane surface
The surface of high-quality and high-end membranes has an anti-scratch layer, which can protect the membrane surface from being scratched under normal use.
7. Shelf life
Generally, membranes produced by regular manufacturers have a longer quality guarantee period, usually 5 years. Some high-quality films have a shelf life of up to 8 years.
There are many brands of thermal insulation film on the market, and the prices vary widely. Many car owners often look around and can't make up their minds. In fact, good thermal insulation films are also high-tech products, and there is a lot to know about choosing thermal insulation films. Filming requires very high technical and hard and soft conditions, such as a dust-free environment, special equipment, standardized operating procedures, skilled technology, etc. However, due to the extremely low threshold for joining this industry, some unscrupulous traders are involved, and counterfeit and shoddy products are rampant. Consumers often suffer losses due to lack of knowledge. In addition, there are currently hundreds of large and small car beauty shops in Shenzhen, and almost every one of them sells thermal insulation film, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of consumer choice.
