Nanocarbon Film

Nanocarbon film uses carbon particles at the nanometre scale to deliver better IR rejection than conventional carbon films while remaining metal-free and signal-friendly.

Nanocarbon represents the bridge between conventional carbon films and full nano-ceramics. The smaller carbon particle size reduces visible light scatter and improves IR absorption per micron of film thickness.

A typical nanocarbon film achieves 50 to 60% total solar energy rejection at 30% VLT, which is a meaningful step up from a basic carbon film at the same darkness.

Nanocarbon is a sensible mid-tier choice for side and rear windows where the LTA's 25% VLT minimum gives more darkness budget to work with. For the windscreen, nano-ceramic remains the better recommendation.
