A Solution to Water Spots and Heat Accumulation Peculiar to a Sunroof
“UNIGLOBE Sunroof Protection Film” is Released.

Announcement of the 3rd UNIGLOBE TVP Total Solution

FE TRADE CO., LTD starts offering “UNIGLOBE Sunroof Protection Film”, the external protection film for sunroofs with a heat-absorbing type thermal insulation function and a water-repellent function which physically protect a sunroof from outside. This product is the 3rd proposal of the new protection category that UNIGLOBE TVP, Total Vehicle Protection, puts forward. UNIGLOBE will keep evolving protection film business and offering total solutions.

■ Background of the Launch

Recently, more and more different shapes of sunroofs, not only in terms of spaciousness but also functionality like visibility, are increasing. However, issues like water spots attached on a sunroof arise as well. This is caused by heat coming into the vehicle in exchange for spaciousness. Currently, a thermal insulation film is generally installed inside to prevent heat, but it is not able to protect a vehicle from external damages, such as water spots by acid rain, dirt, and scratches. This product was developed as a physical protection for sunroofs having a heat-absorbing type thermal insulation function, a high water-repellent function, and excellent weather resistance, while also having the same effects as internal window films. It was released as a completely new protection business category that made much higher protection possible.
