Precautions for applying protective film to cars

Car film application involves attaching a thin film-like object to the front and rear windshields and sunroofs of a vehicle. Its primary function is to prevent ultraviolet rays, some heat, and injuries caused by sudden glass shatters, thereby protecting personal privacy. Shenzhen Dongmei Protective Film Company introduces these four issues regarding car film application.
Explosion-proof function
This is another important function that touches safety. The excellent explosion-proof film itself has strong durability. After the glass breaks, it can be firmly adhered by the film and will not fly and hurt people. Moreover, its impact resistance is very strong. However, inferior explosion-proof films feel very soft, lack sufficient durability, are not resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and are prone to aging and becoming brittle.
Ultraviolet isolation rate
For high-quality membranes, this target is usually no less than 98%, and in some cases, it can reach 100%. High ultraviolet blocking rate can effectively prevent people in the car from being exposed to excessive ultraviolet rays and getting their skin burned, and also protect the car's audio system from being damaged by the sun. However, many defective membranes do not have this target or are far below the 98% standard. This is also the primary basis for the product's warranty period.
Transmittance
This is the most crucial function related to driving safety in car window films. It is recommended that users avoid choosing films with too low light transmittance. For car window films, especially those on the front side Windows, the base material used for the front windshield film should be clear. Even if the color of the film is relatively dark, the view should be transparent and not dull or deformed.
It is more suitable to choose one with a light transmittance of over 85%. At this moment, the side window film does not require perforation and does not affect the field of vision. When driving at night, it can also reduce the intense glare reflected by the headlights of the oncoming vehicles on the rearview mirror, making the eyes very comfortable. In addition, it can ensure an excellent field of vision when driving, reversing or making U-turns in the rain at night.
Heat insulation rate
Considering the climatic factors of long summers, high temperatures and strong sunlight in the Guangdong region, the heat insulation function of window films should be high. High-quality car anti-explosion films 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 you want to identify the car first, the method is very simple. Just use the film-coated glass to block the sun and feel its heat insulation effect with your face or hand.
The use of car film can reduce the damage caused by ultraviolet radiation to objects and people inside the vehicle, save fuel consumption to a certain extent, and also slow down the aging of the car interior.
