What does 3M car film mean?
2 Answers
3M car film refers to the Crystalline automotive window film, which utilizes a 240-layer multi-optical micro-adhesive film as the base material and incorporates nanotechnology to achieve high light transmission, excellent heat insulation, and effective blocking of infrared and ultraviolet rays. Benefits of car window film: 1. Heat and sun protection; 2. UV blocking; 3. Safety and explosion prevention; 4. Creating private space; 5. Reducing air conditioning usage to save energy. Steps for applying car window film: 1. Place two large bath towels on the front hood and dashboard; 2. Cover the seats with seat covers and wrap them tightly with plastic wrap; 3. Thoroughly clean each piece of glass; 4. Spray a small amount of window film installation solution on the outer surface of the car window glass; 5. Carefully position the soft template over the glass; 6. Cut the window film according to the template; 7. Apply the window film, then use a squeegee to remove any bubbles between the film and the glass.
I previously used 3M car window film and thought this name was just a brand designation. 3M is an American company, whose full name is Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, specializing in various industrial products, with car window film being just one of them. This film involves applying a special layer to car windows that can block heat, UV rays, and also provide explosion and fragment protection. Installation requires a professional technician; otherwise, misalignment and bubbles can obstruct visibility. My own car has 3M nano-ceramic film applied. After parking in the sun for three hours in summer, the temperature inside the car only rises slightly, unlike before when it would get scorching hot, saving a lot on air conditioning. The price range is quite broad, from a couple of hundred for the front windshield to several thousand for the whole car. Choosing the right model depends on the light transmittance—higher rates don’t affect road visibility. After installation, maintenance is simple; just wipe with a soft cloth. Overall, it enhances driving comfort, especially suitable for families with children to prevent glass injuries.
