Energy Saving Glass

"An invisible interlayer film is creating visible effects. This material is conducive to safety, because if it receives an impact, it only cracks in a cobweb pattern. It cuts ultraviolet radiation by over 99% and features multi-functionality that enhances the in-car environment further.

S-LEC SSF (Sound and Solar Film) from Sekisui Chemical provides outstanding sound insulation. It also controls vibration, reducing the 100-500 Hz frequencies from the engine by two-thirds compared with conventional interlayer films.

S-LEC SSF, created using Sekisui's unique multilayer technology, contains a plastic layer, which is highly sound-insulating, between the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) layers.

S-LEC SSF effectively reduces penetration by heat radiation in the mid-infrared range. Compared with ordinary windshield glass, it reduces the temperature of the steering wheel, which in summer sometimes gets too hot to touch, by about 10 degrees Celsius.

Ordinary heat-reflecting glass also reflects radio waves, obstructing mobile phone communication. By contrast, S-LEC SSF cuts heat radiation without obstructing radio waves.

By reducing the temperature inside the car, this film reduces the load on the car's air-conditioner, keeping gasoline bills down, and also helps to reduce CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions.
