Car film and tints help bring down the hot temperature level in cars and protect us from the sun’s harmful rays. But while these are common, they also help reduce the load that car air conditioners bring to the overall car engine since they help minimize the level of power needed to generate cool climate in cars today thanks to thermostat adjustments.

As far as helping out the cooling systems in cars, tints and films have been known to lower that burden. With an adjustable thermostat, the load on the car engine is diminished and hence lower. So with that in mind, Southwest Technologies offers the XIR Films.

These infrared reflective glass using XIR film technology for all new vehicles helps a lot in improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. The XIR film is laminated with uncoated glass and enables any automotive glass manufacturer to produce IR reflective glass without the need to invest in tens of millions of dollars in glass coating equipment.

XIR film also makes IR reflective glass cost-effective for low-to-mid volume model runs and for aftermarket replacement glass that otherwise could never justify the fixed costs associated with glass coating production.

“Standardizing on IR reflective glass enables smaller AC systems for all vehicle models,” Capovilla added. “This not only justifies the cost premium of the glass but also makes it a value-added feature for consumers who are increasingly seeking options to reduce their impact on the environment.”
