In the cold season, tinting a car with an athermal film will keep the heat inside the car. The operating temperature range implies the ability to operate the material without loss of properties from –40 to +80°C.
The development of chemical technology is rapidly changing familiar objects. Pasting of car windows with protective materials has become a common thing. We will figure out which athermal film to choose for a car in order to get a high-quality result.
1 position - energy-saving film Armolan AMR 80
The world market leader in protective energy-saving accessories is the American company Armolan. In its catalogs there is a wide selection of athermal film for cars with different characteristics.
Smoke film Armolan AMR 80
Armolan AMR 80 energy-saving film in hot climates will quickly pay for the application costs through saving gasoline and increasing the life of the air conditioner. In a car where there is no air conditioning, this addition partially compensates for its absence.

2 position - tint energy-saving film Sun Control Ice Cool 70 GR
Products of the American brand Sun Control are used in architecture and interior design due to their unique ability to resist UV radiation. A feature of the high-tech coatings of this company, which distinguishes it in the ratings, is a multilayer structure.
Atermalka "San Control" delays up to 98 percent of the light
In the material, specially selected metallized surfaces with a thickness of only a few atoms alternate sequentially. Thus, an acceptable level of transparency of the film is maintained and, at the same time, planes reflecting thermal radiation are formed. The number of such layers can reach 5-7. As metals for spraying, gold, silver, chromium-nickel alloy are used.

3 position - energy-saving film Armolan IR75 Blue
Material from the American manufacturer of athermal film for cars - the company Armolan. It has a pronounced bluish tint and is slightly less translucent than AMR 80. For this reason, the film can be used on cars with caution on the windshield and two front side windows, since its light transmission is almost the same as the maximum permitted by law (75%). However, it is known that the glass itself also delays part of the light flux, especially after several years of operation.
For the second row of side and rear windows, there are no requirements of GOST 5727-88 for the level of dimming. Therefore, the coating can be used on such surfaces without risking conflict with the law.
Film Armolan IR75 with a blue tint
When developing products, Armolan pays great attention to their consumer characteristics, using the most advanced technical solutions. Thus, the blue tint of the IR75 Blue film effectively blocks sunlight, but practically does not reduce visibility at night. Nanoceramic particles absorb over 99% of ultraviolet radiation.

4 position - tint film Armolan HP Onyx 20
The metallized tinting surface HP Onyx 20 from the leading American manufacturer "Armolan" refers to deep painting materials. It has a very low light transmission rate (20%). In Russia, it is used only for the rear window and side windows of the second row.
Toning with athermal film HP Onyx 20
The HP product line is distinguished by the presence of a developed layer of metal nanoparticles in the structure. Thanks to him, the film, while remaining partially transparent, removes heat, preventing it from passing inside the cabin and maintaining a comfortable temperature. In the cold season, tinting a car with an athermal film will keep the heat inside the car. The operating temperature range implies the ability to operate the material without loss of properties from –40 to +80°C.

5th position - tinting "chameleon" athermal, 1.52 x 1 m
Car window tint films with a chameleon effect are able to change their tint when viewed from different angles. Optical properties depend on external lighting - at night their light transmission is maximum, the material practically does not impair the view from the cabin. In the daytime, the thinnest metallized layer inside the film structure reflects the radiation of the sun, making it invisible from the outside. The optical characteristics of the glasses continue to comply with the standards of GOST 5727-88.
Toning "chameleon"
The cost of an athermal film on a car is largely due to the complexity of the structure and composition. To form the unique qualities of the film, nanoparticles of gold, silver and indium oxide were used during its creation.

6th position - athermal green tint
The choice of the color of an athermal film for a car is carried out not only based on the artistic taste of the owner of the car. An important role is played by the expected characteristics of the material, since coatings of different shades differ in the optical range of absorption of rays. Green tinting should be preferred in cases where the main requirement is the ability of the film to effectively reflect infrared radiation. Such rays, called heat rays, cause a lot of inconvenience to car drivers in the southern regions of the country.
Athermal green tint
The active layer in athermal green films is the thinnest layer of graphite. It practically does not affect the transparency of glasses, transmitting more than 80% of visible light, but reflects infrared radiation by 90-97%.

7 position - tint film for cars PRO BLACK 05 Solartek
The domestic company "Solartec" has been working in the field of window systems, decorative and protective polymer coatings for glasses for more than 20 years. Athermal films for cars produced under this brand take into account the peculiarities of the legislation in force in the country, as well as difficult climatic conditions. The material, produced at a Russian factory, simultaneously gives the glass high strength and the ability to maintain temperature, reducing heat loss.
GOST standards allow for deep tinting on the rear hemisphere of the car, ensuring the privacy of passengers and creating a special appearance. This athermal film looks especially advantageous on a black car.
Tinting film PRO BLACK 05 Solartek
The material is made on the basis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which has significant characteristics:
- tear and puncture strength;
- temperature resistance (retains performance up to 300 ° C);
- operating temperature range (from –75 to +150°С).
The coating is plastic, easily deformed. The material thickness of only 56 microns allows for easy application to curved glass surfaces. An additional layer of metal is sprayed over the volumetrically colored PET base, which creates a temperature barrier, as well as surface protection against chips and scratches.

To know how such films work, you need to consider their structure. The material consists of several thin layers of polymers, between which metal or ceramic nanoparticles can be deposited. Thanks to the latter, the film, while maintaining excellent light transmission, acquires the ability to retain and reflect heat rays.
The advantages of the substance are fully manifested when applied to car windows. Cars with athermal film heat up much less inside even under the hot rays of the sun. They keep and do not allow ultraviolet radiation into the cabin, which previously caused rapid wear and burnout of trim surfaces.
