Eective Heat Blocking Test
The gures below compare 3mm PALSUN sheets with identical 20% light transmission yet very dierent solar performance.
As the graphs show, the Solar Control sheet transmits less Infra-Red energy, while reecting more solar energy outwards
over the entire spectrum. It also absorbs less energy, which means less heating of the sheet itself.

SolarSmart™ Cool-Light Products
SolarSmart™ products have special tints that provide "cool-light"
eect through a selective screening of daylight solar energy.
Their advanced tints break the traditional linkage between the
dierent zones of the solar spectrum: they transmit high levels
of visible light and reect Near Infra-Red that causes extra heat
buildup. Their low shading coecient values are a result of low
IR transmission, not light transmission. They help diminish heat
buildup, reduce air-conditioning costs and create a comfortable,
well-lighted and pleasing ambience inside the structure.
These products are recommended for installations in warmer
geographic regions, or for installations that receive direct sun
exposure for many hours each day. SolarSmart™ products
divide into three groups shown below, each consisting
of a dierent technology and typical eciency. The
various SolarSmart™ tints are integrated into the
sheets in the production process and therefore
cannot delaminate.
More natural visible
light is transmitted,
which saves energy.
