Understanding IR and UV rejection in XPEL PRIME
IR Rejection
IR rejection refers to the ability of a window tint to block infrared radiation (IR) from entering through the window. IR radiation is a type of heat that is produced by the sun and can enter through windows, making a vehicle hotter and less comfortable.
Ceramic window tints are designed to reject IR radiation and are made with ceramic particles that can absorb and reflect this type of radiation. The higher the IR rejection percentage of a window tint, the more effective it is at blocking heat and keeping your vehicle cooler.
UV Rejection
UV, or ultraviolet, rejection is also an important factor to consider when comparing automotive window tints. UV rays can cause damage to both the interior and exterior of a car, including fading, cracking, and discoloration of upholstery, dashboard, and other surfaces. UV rays are also very harmful to human skin and can increase the risk of skin cancer.
The UV rejection rating of a window tint refers to its ability to block UV rays and protect the car's interior and occupants from their harmful effects. A higher UV rejection rating means that the tint is more effective at blocking UV rays and reducing the risk of damage to the car's interior and occupants.
PRIME window film pricing
While the XPEL PRIME automotive window tint series offers different levels of heat rejection, it's important to also consider price. PRIME XR starts at $340 and is a strong value for its heat rejection. For drivers who want maximum heat rejection and UV protection, PRIME XR PLUS starts at $490. Pricing is based on tinting a full car, sedan, or truck.
// Good to know
Both films block 99% of UV rays. The difference is heat: PRIME XR PLUS rejects more infrared, so your car stays cooler in the Louisiana sun.
