Product Differentiation

Pinnacle

The unique technology utilized to produce the Pinnacle series of films makes it the most state-of-the-art automotive film today. With the advanced electronic systems in today s vehicles, it is imperative that a window film allow optimum performance at all frequencies. The advanced technology utilized in manufacturing Pinnacle film provides a proprietary non-metallized, non-conductive ceramic technology film with maximum heat rejection, maximum ultraviolet rejection, excellent optical clarity and blockage of infrared rays. Pinnacle film carries a lifetime no-color-change warranty.

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • Maximum Ultraviolet Protection
  • No Hindrance with Vehicle's Electronic Systems
  • Will Not Interfere with Radio Frequencies
  • Lifetime Warranty Against Color Change
  • Maximum Heat Rejection in a Non-Metallized Film

Ultimate

Twenty-first century technology is what makes Ultimate so unique and attractive. Using Starstream technology, Ultimate provides lower reflectivity than other all-metal films. This results in a softer, neutral tone and appearance. Ultimate s unique combination of technologies and layers gives it higher heat rejection than other low-reflectivity products. This exclusive design also means Ultimate won t change color. This, coupled with the features and benefits below, make Ultimate a good choice for your car now and for years to come.

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • Maximum Ultraviolet Protection
  • StarStream Technology for Reduced Reflectivity
  • Choice in Degree of Glare Reduction
  • Lifetime Warranty Against Color Change
  • Excellent Heat Rejection
  • Less Reflective Charcoal Appearance

Premier

Leading edge technology makes this series the finest sold anywhere. First developed to protect delicate electronic circuitry in the aerospace industry, the technology behind the Premier Series uses a 100% metal alloy process, coupled with a multiple layer construction. It may sound complicated, but it simply gives you the best auto film which can be made with today's technology. Because no dye is used, Premier has none to fade. And because it's all metal, it gives you even higher heat rejection in even lighter shades a major functional and aesthetic advantage over any other type of window film.

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • Maximum Ultraviolet Protection
  • Multi-layered Metal Construction
  • Choice in Degree of Glare Reduction
  • Lifetime Warranty Against Color Change
  • Most Total Heat Rejection in Lighter Films

Comfort

This series is the popular choice among drivers who want the classic look, but who also want a major step up in performance characteristics that go beyond just color. With a unique metal alloy bonded to a special dyed layer, the Comfort Series gives you higher heat rejection and additional color options. Plus, since metal is impervious to fading, the sputtered metal/dye construction means Comfort Series has even greater color stability than conventionally dyed films.

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • Maximum Ultraviolet Protection
  • Dyed/Sputtered Metal Construction
  • Choice in Degree of Glare
  • Reduction Lifetime Warranty Against Color Change
  • Very Good Heat Rejection

Classic

This series is an exceptional value with the latest in dyed film technology. Its unique design gives the greatest color longevity of any non-metal film offering a no-color-change warranty. Special dye formulations give you a soft charcoal look in a variety of light transmissions (light, medium and dark shades). Unlike many other dyed films, Classic s special coloration allows you to accent the look of your vehicle, not change it. Like all the FormulaOne product series, Classic is simply at the head of its class, affording you the best protection achievable in a non-metal film.

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • Maximum Ultraviolet Protection
  • Choice in Degree of Glare Reduction
  • Soft, Neutral Charcoal Appearance
  • Lifetime Warranty Against Color Change
  • Patented Technology for Color Longevity

UVShield

The film that is virtually invisible, for the driver who wants ultraviolet protection without the tinted appearance. Typical auto glass transmits most UVA radiation, believed to be responsible for deadly forms of skin cancer. Offering the highest level of protection from ultraviolet A and B rays at 99.9%, UVShield is the only film recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. UVShield is effective on clear or factory tinted glass to improve occupant protection from ultraviolet rays.
 

  • National Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty
  • Scratch-Resistant Surface
  • 99.9% Ultraviolet Protection
  • Multi-layered Construction
  • Virtually Invisible Appearance
  • Low Reflectivity
  • Highest Light Transmission
  • Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation 
 

Test Methods

1. The Visible Light Transmittance was measured at 550 nm using the C.I.E. Standard observer (C.I.E., 1924 and 1931) and D-65 daylight. This single wavelength measurement was chosen to most closely simulate measurements currently taken by local law enforcement agencies.

2. The Visible Light Reflectance has been calculated from spectrophotometric data using C.l.E. standard observer (C.l.E., 1924 and 1931) and D-65 daylight.

3. The Total Solar Energy Rejected was calculated for Summer conditions in accordance with methods given by ASHRAE1. The conditions used were: indoor temperature of 75 F., outdoor temperature of 89 F., indoor air movement by natural convection, outdoor air velocity of 7.5 m.p.h., and solar intensity of 248 Btu/Hr.-ft.

4. The Ultraviolet Transmittance has been calculated for the passage of solar Ultraviolet radiation from 300 to 380 nm at air mass 2.

5. All of the data were obtained from typical production materials and are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances. All the values given are intended for design use only.
