QUOTE(lonely143 @ Jun 25 2015, 10:48 PM) VKOOL ELITE - 0.5 Quite sad that our malaysia's tint website only show the regular values. Far as I know, the only tint which can match Vkool elite would be Solar Gard's LX70 interms of SHGC. VKOOL 55 - 0.48 VKOOL 40 - 0.42 You seems do a lot reading =) As for Vkool55 and 40, there non in the malaysian market. The only one outside the market would be HO Drei.  |

QUOTE(garrick86 @ Jun 26 2015, 09:43 AM) nice jimmy, appreciate heads up on this value and please show us other brands SHGC for research if you have any! this will help with my dilemma in choosing various brands. Sorry,I do not have the values of the films. I am just a casual reader, and is interested in this topic. But You can start looking up SHGC values of various film from the web from now on, preferably web from US or Europe...All these while, some films agent here in FnF have been mentioning this "SHGC" values, but sadly the malaysia's tint website do not show up these values... |

QUOTE(garrick86 @ Sep 11 2015, 12:23 PM) Sorry to hear that, but sometimes buying tinting is more to trial and error type. Hi garrick86,Unless you have few cars or few friends that willing to try all the type of tinting to find out the good ones. For that I am lucky to have few friends from different brands to try all the type.  Can you share your experience with me of all those brands you and your friends have tried, which one is the best follow by second and third...Wish to have some knowledge. If not, PM me the brands and model of tint from 1st to last in rankings to me.... Thanks |

QUOTE(exitsortie @ Nov 30 2015, 09:38 AM) Hi, Am using Solar Gard LX70 for whole car. In terms of heat rejection, it's on par with V-kool elite.I need some opinions/advice from fellow forumers. I was looking for a security film with decent heat rejection (and not too dark) for my City and was quoted the following. Solar Gard LX70 - front Solar Gard LX55 - side and back Price - RM2600 Can i get opinions on the quality of Solar Gard film and the quoted price? Thanks! SolarGard is one of the premium brands in europe, but not many pay attention to it. Pls google up solar film heat reflection, you will be suprise only a handful of film is reflecting heat and not blocking(meaning absorb). The solargard agent demonstrate this to me. He ask me to stand beside a infra red lamp( not infront). By using the solar film, he was able to reflect the heat from the lamp onto me, just like he is holding a mirror to me.Wow was I impress. Since, I been googling the term heat reflection and not heat rejection. Also do look for the term SHGC(solar heat gain coefficient). This is the only true value which will show the films heat rejection capability. NRFC NRFC SHGC for both films are at 0.38 for 3mm clear glass. meaning....  Bear in ming that only metalised film is able to do that. So all your IR remote, smartag will be severly affected. Pls take your time and study. Hope you will find what you want. |

QUOTE(jamespaul @ Nov 24 2017, 03:00 PM) Here is what misleading means... Seems someone is doing their homework...Raytech Ultra is a rebranded version of the SunTek CIR tints. Suntek CIR80 claims, 42% heat rejection. Raytech Ultra 80 claims 50% rejection. That is ~20% more than what the tint can do. Note: I picked Raytech Ultra 80 as this is one that Raytech should recommend as this is closest to JPJ approval. Glass are typically 70 to 80% clear. The right VLT for front windscreen is 70%, so the best legal tint would be 90% VLT Also, your Raytech Ultra 70, has 58% heat rejected (TSER), If this is true, no tint manufacturer can beat your clarity per TSER. Based on SunTek's website, to achieve 58% of TSER, the tint would block out 80% of light. But your tint only blocks out 27% Hence, Why my personal opinion is that Raytech is no 100% truthful. Base on my research, TSER effectiveness is a combination of IRR rejection, VLR reduction and VLT reduction Do let me know if you can share the technical certificates for all your tints. http://search.nfrc.org/search/apd_film/fil...ch_default.aspx Here a website, for you to check out most of the tints value. |

QUOTE(WannaGetBuffed @ Nov 24 2017, 04:47 PM) May I know which Film Series/Model Number CIR80 belongs to? Sorry bro I am not sure which is which, but you can see some familiar brands and product there.Has anyone contested and brought Raytech to tribunal for a refund before? Some company use internal product code name for tests. So you may actually ask the seller for the tints product code for reference.... |

QUOTE(70schild @ Jan 12 2018, 08:58 PM) Earlier Lord Gitsy defended his Raytech films by saying: Bro, do you have any similar results for other brands films? Especially vkool? So I can know how far or near the competition. Then base on it, and price would helped me decide...Unfortunately, Lord Gitsy did not back up his words by showing the lab test results for Raytech. Anyway, despite the silence from Lord Gitsy the good news is that Raytech films have indeed been lab tested. Managed to find these results when the film was tested in accordance with ISO 9050: [attachmentid=9507824] |
