Color Stable window tint has been one of the most popular options in the last year or two because of its low price and durability. Color Stable vehicle window film is a higher quality entry-level dyed window tint. Due to exposure to damaging UV rays, most colored window films on the market fade or become purple within a few years. The technology utilized in this film prevents this from happening.
However, there is misinformation concerning window tint film, particularly the specifics of Color Stable film. Here is a look at what you need to know about 3M Color Stable tint for window.
What Does Color Stable Mean?
Most color-stable tints, including the 3M Color Stable series tint, are built on a platform of dyed film, to which nano carbon polyester materials and a secret manufacturing process are added. The most important thing about color-stable window film is that it blocks UV and IR rays without letting them damage the material. This causes maximum heat rejection, which cuts down on the sun’s blinding glare, makes the product last longer, and gives factory glass more strength.
How Does It Work?
To make 3M Color Stable tint, a process known as extrusion is used. Instead of just being put on a sheet, the raw materials that go into color-stable window tints are melted and stretched in both directions. This strengthens the base material, soaking up the rays without hurting the film.
Once the film is made, it is mixed with UV blockers that keep the harmful ultraviolet rays from getting through. Instead of the film, the tint’s color will absorb the sun’s energy on the glass. This lets fewer damaging rays get through the window film, making the Color Stable window tint last longer.
