Apply AR film on both sides for full performance

Light is reflected at both the front and rear surfaces of glass. Typical surface reflection is approximately 4–5% per side. Applying AR film reduces reflection to approximately 0.5% per side. For best results, apply the film to both sides of the glass.

Notice: Multi-layered glass (double / triple glazing) requires AR film on all surfaces. For example, double glazing requires application on four surfaces. This is generally impractical and not recommended.

Important Notes

NOTICE 1: Designed for outdoor environments UVAR-RL is designed for outdoor applications and provides improved UV resistance and weather durability compared to standard indoor AR film.

NOTICE 2: Avoid application on polycarbonate. Polycarbonate may release gases that can cause bubbles between the film and surface. Acrylic is generally compatible; however, for other plastics, please test in advance and proceed at your own risk.

NOTICE 3: The AR surface has no protective liner. Please handle the AR side with extra care during application. Use an appropriate tool such as a squeegee, and avoid fingerprints or scratches on the surface.

FAQ — AR Film Roll Outdoor Type (UVAR-RL)

What is the difference between UVAR12SG-RL and UVAR15SG-RL?

Both are the same outdoor AR film — the only difference is width. UVAR12SG-RL is 1220 mm wide; UVAR15SG-RL is 1500 mm wide. Choose based on the width of the glass or surface you need to cover.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order is 2 meters. Length can be ordered in any increment from 2 meters up.

What is the difference between outdoor (UVAR-RL) and indoor (SGAR-RL) AR film?

UVAR-RL is designed for exterior use and can be applied to the outside surface of glass. It incorporates UV-resistant layers that protect both the film and the acrylic-based adhesive from degradation due to prolonged sun and weather exposure. SGAR-RL (indoor type) lacks this durability and will deteriorate if used outdoors.

Does UVAR-RL block UV light and provide scatter prevention?

Yes. UVAR-RL blocks over 99% of UV light (UV transmittance < 1%) and also has a glass fragment retention (scatter prevention) function certified to JIS A 5759.

Can UVAR-RL be applied to acrylic or polycarbonate as well as glass?

UVAR-RL uses an acrylic-based PSA and adheres well to glass and acrylic (PMMA). Application to polycarbonate (PC) is not recommended due to outgassing from the substrate, which can affect adhesion and optical clarity over time. If application to PC is required, proceed at your own risk and conduct sufficient testing beforehand.
