When you're staring out your office window looking for inspiration, driving through an unfamiliar neighborhood or using your body to block the sun from the ATM screen, you probably don't think much about the piece of glass in front of you. At Solutia, we do. We're constantly developing products that improve the efficiency, safety and functionality of windows and glass surfaces as well as electronic devices.
In fact, Solutia's Performance Films division has transformed the way people think about the glass in the cars we drive and the buildings where we live, work and play. High-performance aftermarket window films can provide comfort, aesthetics, energy savings and heightened safety and security when applied to glass.
The same components that are laminated to make window films are engineered for use in high end devices such as: touch screens, electronic displays, energy products and medical devices. Plus, our conductive and highly reflective films are an integral component in solar modules, including next generation building-integrated photovoltaics.
Benefits of Performance Films Products
LLumar, Vista, Hper Optik, IQue, nanoLux, Sun-X and Gila window films offer affordable energy-saving solutions to businesses and homeowners alike. By rejecting up to 84 percent of solar heat, these window films improve the efficiency of air conditioning systems, helping to save on energy costs and use, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions.
Similar benefits are extended to automotive window films, which provide for cooler interior cabin air and surface temperatures. LLumar, FormulaOne® High Performance Auto Tint™, V-KOOL, Hper Optik, nanoLux and Gila films enhance vehicle style while adding a heightened level of protection and security for drivers, their passengers and belongings.
By utilizing proprietary processes and technologies such as sputtering, metallizing and deep-dyeing, Solutia also engineers the industry's widest array of conductive films, barrier films, release films and highly reflective precision-coated films. These films, sold under the Flexvue brand, accelerate the adoption of solar energy, touch screen and electronic display technologies.
By combining capabilities, Solutia's Performance Films division can produce window film components, shades and other custom materials to exacting standards. With distinction in the areas of research and technology, manufacturing excellence, a global distribution network and dedicated customer service, we stand ready to fulfill your requirements.
With more glass being used in automobiles, homes and buildings all over the world, and the increased use of film solutions in solar modules, market potential and expansion opportunities for these products are staggering. Market development continues in China, Europe and North America and is expanding across Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
