Key Terms in 3M Ceramic IR Window Film
TSER – Total Solar Energy Rejection
- The percentage of total solar energy rejected by the filmed glass.
- A higher TSER value means less solar heat is transmitted into your car, keeping the interior cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning.
VLT – Visible Light Transmitted
- The percentage of visible light that passes directly through the filmed glass.
- A higher VLT value indicates a lighter film that allows more natural light into the vehicle while still providing protection.
Ultraviolet Rejection
- The percentage of ultraviolet (UV) light rejected by the filmed glass.
- UV light contributes to the fading and deterioration of fabrics and leather. High UV rejection protects the vehicle’s interior and occupants from harmful UV rays.
IRER – Infrared Energy Rejection
- The percentage of solar infrared energy rejection over the wavelength range from 780 to 2,500 nm.
- IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed IR energy that will be reradiated into a car, providing a more comprehensive measure of heat rejection.
IRR – Infrared Rejection
- The percentage of solar infrared energy rejected over the wavelength range from 900 to 1,000 nm.
- Infrared rays are primarily responsible for the heat you feel when driving. High IRR reduces this heat, improving comfort.
Glare Reduction
- The percentage by which visible light is reduced by the addition of film.
- Less glare from sunlight and headlights means a safer and more comfortable driving experience. Performance is typically evaluated based on the film applied to 1/4” (6mm) thick, 73% VLT automotive green glass.

Comparison with Other Window Films
When considering window tinting options, it’s important to understand the differences between 3M Ceramic IR Window Film and other types. Here’s how it stacks up against traditional, metalized, and dyed films:
Ceramic IR vs. Metalized Films
- Metalized films contain metallic particles that reflect heat and UV rays. However, these films can interfere with electronic signals, affecting GPS, mobile phones, and radio reception. 3M Ceramic IR Window Film avoids this issue, providing excellent heat rejection and UV protection without any signal interference.
Ceramic IR vs. Dyed Films
- Dyed films absorb heat and reduce glare but can degrade and lose effectiveness over time. They also tend to be less durable and more prone to fading. 3M Ceramic IR Window Film, on the other hand, maintains its performance and clarity over the long term, ensuring consistent protection and comfort.
Ceramic IR vs. Traditional Tints
- Traditional tints often use dyes or metals to block heat and light. While they provide some level of UV protection and heat reduction, they can fade or discolor over time. In contrast, 3M Ceramic IR Window Film uses advanced ceramic technology, offering superior heat rejection without fading or discoloration.
Legal Guidelines for Window Tinting
