■ Background of the Launch
Recently, more and more different shapes of sunroofs, not only in terms of spaciousness but also functionality like visibility, are increasing. However, issues like water spots attached on a sunroof arise as well. This is caused by heat coming into the vehicle in exchange for spaciousness. Currently, a thermal insulation film is generally installed inside to prevent heat, but it is not able to protect a vehicle from external damages, such as water spots by acid rain, dirt, and scratches. This product was developed as a physical protection for sunroofs having a heat-absorbing type thermal insulation function, a high water-repellent function, and excellent weather resistance, while also having the same effects as internal window films. It was released as a completely new protection business category that made much higher protection possible.
