About iQUETM / V-KOOL®

iQUETM / V-KOOL® is the world's only clear, spectrally-selective applied film which transmits more than 70% of daylight while rejecting 99% of ultra-violet and 94% of infra-red heat.
Spectrally-selective films have transparent, metallised coatings designed to transmit, reflect or absorb different wavelengths of the solar spectrum. In the case of iQUETM / V-KOOL®, it is designed specifically to be light transmitting while heat reflective.
iQUETM / V-KOOL® is the solution to architectural and automotive businesses in terms of comfort improvement and energy saving.

What we do

We’re the specialist in solar reflection film

Brand Identity

Southwall Technologies Inc. is a NASDAQ-listed company which invested US$18 million in perfecting the sputtering technology to produce iQUETM / V-KOOL®. The solar control window film were originally developed for the US Space and Military Program. Same technology has been used to deposit the radar evasive surface on Stealth Bomber. The technology is now being popularized for commercial use in order to improve the human comfort, heat control for window glass for both building and automobile.

Technology

iQUETM / V-KOOL® is manufactured through multi-layered sputtering. These materials are deposited one layer at a time onto a super clear polyester substrate (only the top 1% of all polyester that are produced daily in the world can meet the specifications) at a rate of 2m/min per layer.
iQUETM / V-KOOL® retains its transparency in spite of the metal and adhesive coatings and does not interfere with visibility when applied to the windows. The coating blocks off infra-red heat and ultra-violet radiation without significantly reducing the visible light transmittance. The glass is made shatter resistant by the film forming a permanent bond.

Architectural Use

Commercial and residential buildings in the tropics use 50 to 70 percent of their energy consumption for comfort cooling. A sizeable portion of the cooling demand is often due to heat gain through glazed areas (windows, skylights and atria). In many countries, Demand Side Management is being implemented to ensure that buildings incorporate energy efficient green technologies like window films.
iQUETM / V-KOOL’s® window films solve all window overheating problems. Depending on a window’s exposure to solar energy and requirements for transparency, iQUETM / V-KOOL® films can maximize heat rejection or visible light transmission. Even maximum heat rejection and high light transmission are available from iQUETM / V-KOOL® in a clear, colourless and non-reflective film.

Automotive Use

When applied to the windows of your car, iQUETM / V-KOOL® forms a virtually transparent, protective barrier against the sun's heat. iQUETM / V-KOOL® films work by reflecting heat rather than absorbing heat. Heat absorbing films will cause intensive heat build-up in the car due to re-radiated heat and thermal stress onto the glass can result in glass breakage or cracks.
iQUETM / V-KOOL® coating helps to lower temperatures quickly at start up, allowing the passenger cabin to cool faster. You cruise in comfort, subjecting your air conditioner to less strain and improving fuel efficiency.

VK 40

Industry-leading technological expertise has allowed the scientists who created V-KOOL® to configure visible light transmission and infra-red rejection attributes of the coating to suit different market needs. An impressive example can be seen in V-KOOL® 40. While V-KOOL® 75 and 70 were engineered for applications where visible light transmission requirement is high, V-KOOL® 40 is darker in appearance to V-KOOL® 75 and 70. For applications requiring lesser visibility and maximum solar control, V-KOOL® 40 fits the bill by offering a staggering 98.3% rejection of infra-red radiation from the sun. Again, spectral-selectivity means that while V-KOOL® 40 almost completely eliminates infra-red radiation from penetrating your windows, it still allows 40% of visible light to pass through.
