*TSER – Total Solar Energy Rejection; The percentage of total solar energy rejected by filmed glass. The higher this value, the less solar heat is transmitted.
**IRR - Percent of solar infrared energy in the 900 – 1,000 nm wavelength range that is rejected by the film. Measurement is made of film with liner alone (i.e., no glass).
+IRER – Percent of solar infrared energy that is rejected over the wavelength range from 780 – 2,500 nm. IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed IR energy that will be reradiated into a car. Data shown is for the performance of film applied to glass.
^Data shown is the estimated performance of film applied to ¼” (6mm) thick, 73% VLT automotive green glass. Data is for reference only.

Frequently asked questions about Tinted Glass for Car
-
Why choose 3M Car Window Tint?
Durability and peace of mind. High-quality films provide a durable finish that lasts as long as you own your vehicle. A product from 3M, a name you know and trust, paired with the most skilled installers and comprehensive warranty in the industry, will give you the confidence that you and your car window tint will be protected.
-
How do 3M™ Car Window Films work?
3M Car Window Films are designed to reduce the amount of solar heat transmission through window glass by increasing the solar reflection (not necessarily visible reflection) and solar absorption through the glass.
-
Will 3M Automotive Window Films stop my car seats from fading?
Nothing completely stops fading. 3M Tinted Window Films are designed to help reduce the major causes of fading (ultra violet light, visible light, and solar heat), thus prolonging the life of your furnishings, perhaps as much as two to five times. Generally, ultra violet (UV) is approximately 40% of the cause, visible light is about 25%, and heat about 25%. The remaining 10% can be attributed to humidity, pollutants, interior lights, dye stability, and more.
-
How do I clean my 3M™ Automotive Window Film?
After thirty (30) days, you may clean 3M™ Films using normal household cleaning solutions, including ammonia-based products: e.g., Windex, and a soft, lint-free cloth or towel. You may also use a squeegee to clean the films. Abrasive products which would scratch or damage the film should not be used.
