Here's the performance data taken from the websites:
"Huper ceramic 30
visible light transmission 34%
visible light reflectance 11%
shading coefficient 0.47%
total solar energy rejected 61%
infared light rejection 85%
UV light reflectance 99.9%
Huper ceramic 40
visible light transmission 42%
visible light reflectance 9%
shading coefficient 0.53%
total solar energy rejected 55%
infared light rejection 80%
UV light reflectance 99.9%
3M™ Crystalline Automotive Window Films 40 (rear window limit in VA)
39% Visible Light Transmitted
59% Total Solar Energy Rejected
66% On Angle†
97% Infrared Rejected††
50% Solar Heat Reduction
6% Visible Light Reflection Int.
7% Visible Light Reflection Ext.
99.9% UV Rejected
56% Glare Reduction
†TSER On Angle calculated at 60 degrees
††IR for wavelength range of 900-1000 nm
Huper ceramic 50
visible light transmission 50%
visible light reflectance 10%
shading coefficient 0.59%
total solar energy rejected 49%
infared light rejection 68%
UV light reflectance 99.9%
3M™ Crystalline Automotive Window Films 50 (front window limit in VA)
50% Visible Light Transmitted
56% Total Solar Energy Rejected
63% On Angle†
97% Infrared Rejected††
46% Solar Heat Reduction
7% Visible Light Reflection Int.
8% Visible Light Reflection Ext.
99.9% UV Rejected
43% Glare Reduction
†TSER On Angle calculated at 60 degrees
††IR for wavelength range of 900-1000 nm "
Quick Summary:
Comparison of the 40 tint:
total solar energy rejected (3M: 59% / huper: 55%)
infared light rejection (3M: 97% / huper: 80%)
Comparison of the 50 tint:
total solar energy rejected (3M: 56% / huper: 49%)
infared light rejection (3M: 97% / huper: 68%)
It appears 3M performs better.. not to mention I have a 3M installer in my local area.
