Functions
Safty
While normal tempered glass tends to shatter on impact, laminated glass with S-LEC Film may break but fragments remain adhered on the interlayer film to minimize injuries. Because the laminated glass doesn't shatter into small pieces, a degree of visibility is maintained.

Security
Car burglaries and theft are on the rise. While tempered glass can be broken in an instant, if a car's side and other windows are made of laminated glass with S-LEC, the strong, flexible interlayer film makes glass very difficult to penetrate. Thieves usually give up breaking into the car takes time.

UV filtering
Laminated glass with S-LEC Film filters out more than 99% of the harmful ultraviolet rays that cause sunburns and skin cancer. The film also prevents the discoloration and deterioration of vehicle interiors.

Sound insulation
S-LEC Film for automotive laminated glass effectively reduces sound from the car exterior, such as traffic noise and the piercing shrill of wind. Using S-LEC SAF with higher sound insulation properties than other standard interlayer films drastically enhances the quiet and comfort of the car's interior.

Solar control

S-LEC SCF reduces the transmission of heat (mid-infrared) rays from the sun, effectively controlling the in-car temperature and creating a comfortable environment, while improving fuel economy.
Tests have shown that compact cars in a traffic jam that use air conditioning can expect an increase in fuel economy of approximately 3%.
