UNDERSTANDING THE SUNLIGHT SPECTRUM
Sunlight spectrum that reaches earth consists of Ultraviolet (UV) lOnm to 400nm, Visible Light (VL) 380nm to 780nm and Infrared 780nm to 1 mm (IR).
UV is the strongest and most harmful radiation to earth. UVC is fully blocked by the ozone layer, about 5 to 10% of UVB and almost 100% of UVA reach the earth. UVB has a shorter wavelength which only reaches the earth surface. UVA has the longest wavelength which can penetrate to the deep-sea level. UV rays cause sunburn, skin cancer, skin aging and eye damage, and can lower your body’s ability to fight off illness.
Visible Light is the light that we can see. VL generates almost 40% of the total solar energy which consists of the colours of the rainbow. Violet, Indigo and Blue light from 380nm to 420nm is the High Energy wavelength which is visible but harmful to human eyes.
Near-infrared Light from 780nm to 2500nm is generating almost 50% of total solar energy. Near-infrared is good for wound healing, cellular regeneration, antioxidant and support of metabolic processes. Lots of medical instruments used near-infrared light for treatment. For example, sauna and near-infrared therapy.
Benefits :
Full Ultraviolet Protection
- Prevent Skin Cancer and Premature Aging
- Prolong Interior Furnishing Lifespan
- Reduce Eye Cataract Risk
Investing in optical solar films that are labelled UV+420 will block 100% of UV light and HEV Blue Light. This rating ensures that all light rays with wavelengths up to 420 nano which includes UVA, UVB and UVC rays, and HEV Blue Light are blocked out. The UV protection into the optical solar film, so it won’t fade or disappear over time.
Energy Saving (Reduce Temperature up to 10°C)
- Reduce on Air Conditioner Usage and Maintenance
- Reducing Green House Effect
- Comfortable and Cool Living
Window films with excellent heat rejection will prevent substantial heat from entering a building and therefore reducing the consumption of sir conditioning. On average,1°C reduction in room temperature equals to 3% energy saving. Moreover, maintenance of air condition unit will be kept to a minimum.
Security Enhancement
Glass windows will be more secure from impact and breakage, ensuring a safer environment. Physical injuries and losses of personal belonging can be avoided.
