Abstract :

Due to damage that solar radiation causes on humans, in this work, solar control films (SCF) were compared in order to assess radiation protection. The evaluation criteria were that the SCF must have visible light transmittance greater than 85%, ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) blocking greater than 95% and 40% respectively. 282 SCF data sheets belonging to 12 different brands (films most used in polarizing vehicles and buildings) were compiled. An analysis was made to one statistical sample of SCF in the optical laboratory, using the solar radiometer, spectrometer and spectrophotometer. The results showed that 15 SCF belonging to 4 brands satisfy the evaluation criteria.
