PMD Index™5.4/10

of specs cite a real test method

43%

of scored specs disclosed at all

PMD Index is our independent read of this film's own published data — not a brand claim. Green rows cite a real test method; amber rows are a real number the brand states but hasn't proven; red rows mean the brand hasn't disclosed this at all in the catalogs, TDS sheets, and warranty documents we have on file — not that we've confirmed it's absent. Think we missed something? Ask us on WhatsApp and we'll take another look.

Light tier (65%+ VLT).Heat-rejection and glare figures below are scored against other films in this same darkness tier — a darker film always blocks more heat than a lighter one regardless of build quality, so comparing across tiers wouldn't be fair.

What actually matters

Film TechnologyNot disclosed by the brand — scored conservatively until it's verified.

Total Solar Energy RejectedBlocks a solid 42% of the sun's total heat energy (scored against other lighter, 65%+ VLT films — a fair comparison, not against dark privacy films) — a real, noticeable difference in cabin heat. The brand states this figure but hasn't cited a test methodology behind it.

Glare ReductionCuts glare by 13% (scored against other lighter, 65%+ VLT films — a fair comparison, not against dark privacy films) — a mild but noticeable improvement. Brand-stated, not backed by a cited test.

Infrared RejectionNot disclosed by the brand — scored conservatively until it's verified.

Interior ReflectionNot disclosed by the brand — scored conservatively until it's verified.

Signal SafetyNot disclosed by the brand — scored conservatively until it's verified.

UV RejectionBlocks 99% of UV rays — essentially complete protection for your skin and interior from sun damage. Brand-stated, not independently tested.

Why This Product?

This sun film is ideal for car owners looking to reduce interior heat and glare while maintaining clear visibility. It effectively blocks 99% of UV rays, protecting passengers and the vehicle's interior from sun damage.

Good to Know

The Arctic Cool SG 80 sun film uses advanced technology to balance high visible light transmittance with effective solar energy rejection. Its 79% VLT allows for clear visibility, crucial for safe driving, while the 42% TSER ensures significant heat reduction. The film's 99% UV rejection protects both passengers and the vehicle's interior from harmful ultraviolet rays, reducing the risk of fading and damage. This combination of features makes it a practical choice for those seeking comfort and protection without compromising on visibility.

Honest Notes from PMD

While the Arctic Cool SG 80 offers excellent heat rejection and visibility, it may not be suitable for those seeking darker tints for privacy. It is designed primarily for side windows and may fall below the CMVR VLT floor for front windshields.

PMD Advisory

Ensure professional installation for optimal performance and durability. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive materials will help maintain clarity and effectiveness. Confirm this VLT sits at or above the CMVR floor for front windows before applying there.

The PMD Promise

Genuine film with actual VLT and TSER specs — not inflated claims from grey market products
Film cost shown separately from fitting charges — you always know what you're paying for the product itself
Film ships to you before fitting. Check the brand label and spec values yourself
India road-use note: PMD lists each film's measured VLT against the CMVR Rule 100(2) floor (70% for windscreens, 50% for side windows) so you can compare specs accurately. Meeting that VLT floor is a separate question from whether applying aftermarket film is itself a permitted modification — PMD does not label a film "road-legal" solely because of its VLT.
