LLumar window films offer protecion from the damaging effects of UV radiation with UV absorbed deep within the body of the film and also within the adhesive layer. Some other manufacturers may not use UV absorbers within the body of the film, but when they are included, it may be present in the adhesive coating only.

Tests prove this to be a significant factor in reducing the effective period of protection and product lifetime.

Why do I need UVShield?

Skin DiseaseUV rays have been linked to various types of skin disease including skin cancers such as Melanoma and Basel Cell Carcinoma. Studies have predicted that "One in five Americans will develop skin cancer..." and the rates of the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma, have risen dramatically.

Photoaging
Most people believe that as we get older our skin naturally begins to wrinkle and sag. While that is true to some extent, scientists believe that as much as 80% of these signs of aging are in fact due to sun exposure. The effects of UV exposure are cumulative and take years to become apparent. In addition to wrinkles, many other signs of aging: liver spots, moles, and white patches are also related to sun exposure.

Fading
UV rays are a major contributor to fading of your vehicle's and household interior. While UVShield does not eliminate fading (fading is a chemical reaction that involves UV rays, visible light, heat, and humidity) it can virtually prevent ultraviolet fading by blocking 99.9% of the UV rays from entering.

Safety
UVShield can help hold shattered glass in place in the event of an accident. This can prevent dangerous shards of glass from flying into the vehicle and seriously injuring its occupants. The film forms a protective sheath on the interior glass surface.
