SAFETY AND SOLAR CONTROL FILMS  –   “BRUXAFOL”

Self adhesive window film “BRUXSAFOL” is the one product that starts working for you the minute it’s installed to your glass, offering benefits beyond your needs, and turning an absolutely common glass into a high quality glazing.

 

Manufactured in USA by BEKAERT CORPORATION, global leader in the development, manufacture and distribution of solar and safety window films.

Bekaert has pioneered high-speed multi-layer sputtering utilizing rotatable magnetron technology (for NASA special programs) and operates the most advanced coating technologies in order to provide customers with a very effective material for residential needs.

As Romanian exclusive distributor, Spectrum Industries offers many types and constructions of solar control and safety window films. More than 80 films are available in reflective and non-reflective finishes and can be clear, colored, or

patterned to be used as architectural films (solar control with different degrees of light and heat transmittance and reflectivity), safety and security films, and decorative films. BRUXSAFOL is a thin, multi-layered piece of optically clear polyester (“DU PONT DE NEMOURS”) film that is retrofitted to the inside surface of glass – sputter-coated with durable, exotic metals such as titanium, stainless steel, copper, gold, silver, inconel, chromium, aluminum and other alloys. A mounting adhesive layer and a protective release liner are applied to the other side. 

SPUTTERING PROCESS

Sputtering is a process for depositing a thin uniform of a metal onto a substrate. During the process a target surface is bombared with an ionized gas. Hence metallic atoms are ejected from the target and are deposited on the substrate to be coated. In a high vacuum chamber, a roll of polymeric material is transported via a chilled drum from an unwind to a rewind position. Multiple rotatable cathodes are positioned below the chilled drum. As the film is traversed above the cathodes, while against the chilled drum, ultra thin layers of the target material are deposited onto the substrate surface.

SOLAR CONTROL AND SAFETY&SECURITY FILMS

HEAT CONTROL
BRUXSAFOL high technology films can reduce energy costs. They act as an insulating factor, rejecting up to 79% of the sun’s heat in summer and decreasing heat loss during winter.

UV PROTECTION
BRUXSAFOL film blocks out 99% of the damaging ultraviolet rays, preventing premature fading of exposed materials.

STYLE AND PRIVACY
BRUXSAFOL film adds new style building (inside and outside installation). Available in wide variety of colors and light transmission degrees, the installed films enhances any architectural design and improve the aesthetic value of any fatade.

SAFETY – SECURITY

Passive safety: due to mounting adhesive layer any kind of film remain attached to glass, avoiding injury caused by shattered glass.
Active safety: special security and safety films (up to 400 micron through multiple layer laminating process) can stand against intrusion, bomb blast, vandalism, strong wind, hurricane, Molotov cocktail. Safety films improve the penetration resistance of glass, preventing the intruder from entering quickly and allowing alarm system to alert owner and intervention team. 

OPACIFIER FILM

Spandrel glass
Spandrel glass is typically specified for facade’s nonvision areas to mask construction materials in combination with vision glass – the building appears to be constructed entirely of glass.
Using polyester opaque polyester film (variety of color: White, Black, Blue, custom colors or vibrant tints such as rose red, emerald green and royal blue) we can successfully create spandrel areas that harmonize with the vision areas of your building, answering also the safety and security issues. In case of spandrel glazing using monolithic reflective glass, we always apply a polyester opacifying film to the interior of the glass surface over the reflective coating. Full coverage ceramic frit cannot be used on the same surface with reflective coatings. Tempering of glass is to be recommended to avoid thermal breakage. 

DECORATIVE FILM

Decorative film BRUXSAFOL offers both safety improvement of common glass, avoiding incidentally breakage, and design effect.

Our large palette of colored, translucent, opaque, sand blasted ,geometrically patterned films , dimensioned on usual needs can provide virtually unlimited design possibilities for glass partitions , storefronts, canopies, balustrades.

New: anti slip film for glass floors (available also for marble, wood, metal flooring)
