New Hyundai Film Promises to End Heat in Vehicles Parked in the Sun. The Cooling Film with Nanotechnology Reduces Temperature by Up to 22 °C. Check Out All the Details of This Innovation!

One of the biggest nightmares for drivers, at least in Brazil, is parking their car in the sun and having to face that stuffy feeling when getting back into the vehicle. With this in mind, Hyundai developed its new transparent cooling film with nanotechnology that promises to significantly reduce the temperature in these cases.

The new cooling film with nanotechnology, named Nano Cooling Film, will be applied to the vehicle’s windows. According to the company, internal temperatures could be reduced by more than 22°C.

Announced last year, the new Hyundai film blocks external thermal energy while allowing internal heat to escape. The brand tested the product’s effectiveness by applying the film to 70 vehicles in Lahore, Pakistan. In the region, temperatures reach incredible 50 °C, and curtains are banned for safety reasons.

The results of the tests showed that the new Hyundai film reduced the temperature at the driver’s seat by 10.98 °C compared to conventional tinted film.

The thermometers also recorded a decrease of 12.33 °C compared to the same vehicle without tinted windows. On the surfaces inside the car, the film reduced the incidence surface temperature by 15.38 °C compared to a vehicle with conventional film and 22 °C compared to one without film.

The cooling film with nanotechnology is in the final phase of testing. Hyundai plans to begin mass production and sales in the near future.

Other Initiatives Similar to Hyundai’s Film

In addition to the new cooling film with nanotechnology, an Israeli startup called SolCold developed a technology capable of using solar energy to cool cars as early as 2022.

The technology is a film-like coating that can use sunlight to maintain the car’s temperature. The company’s cooling technology utilizes light photons that can react with the surface and cause them to escape with more energy than they are able to absorb.

As a result, energy is emitted more intensely, transforming energy loss into a cooling process. While the process is not exactly new and is called anti-Stokes fluorescence, it can only occur naturally under specific conditions.

The test was conducted on a Volkswagen Polo and was funded by the research center of the German brand.

New Brazilian Rules for the Use of Automotive Films

Commonly referred to as insulfilm, automotive safety film is produced with polyester and a subtle layer of metal.

When applied to vehicle windows, it becomes virtually imperceptible, providing protection against theft and robbery, blocking sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, thermal comfort, and an enhanced aesthetic appearance. Many Brazilians choose this feature to give a more modern and sleek look to the vehicle.

It is legal to use film on the windshield, as long as it complies with established regulations. This permission is a substantial benefit as it allows for maintaining comfort and privacy without violating any legal norms.

One of the most significant changes in the recent regulation of solar protection films is the absolute prohibition of bubbles on front windows and windshields. This measure aims to ensure driver safety by preventing any compromise in visibility while driving.
