3M Obsidian Automotive Window Film is a metal-free entry-level dyed carbon film that is unlike any other dyed carbon film. 3M uses its patented “Infuse Technology” to bond the black carbon particles to the polyester film. For the consumer, that means richer color, increased performance, and greater color stability. Backed by a national lifetime warranty, Obsidian is perfect for the consumer who seeks performance at a budget-friendly price.

Obsidian Series rejects up to 44% of the total solar energy coming through your windows

Data shown is the estimated performance of film applied to ¼” (6mm) thick, 73% VLT automotive green glass. Data is for reference only.
*IRR - Percent of solar infrared energy in the 900 – 1,000 nm wavelength range that is rejected by the film. Measurement is made of film with liner alone (i.e. no glass).
**IRER – Percent of solar infrared energy that is rejected over the wavelength range from 780 – 2,500 nm. IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed IR energy that will be reradiated into a car. Data shown is for the performance of film applied to glass.
