Full report
Lumenco Scientific said on November 4 that it had filed a U.S. patent application for a solar-control film technology intended for buildings and vehicles. It is seeking licensing and manufacturing partners.
The company describes a patterned metal layer made of structures smaller than the wavelengths of light. It says this can reflect near-infrared solar heat while letting visible light through.
Its release claims more than 63% total solar energy rejection and more than 60% visible light transmission. Those are company figures, not independently verified results. The announcement provides no test report, glazing configuration or application number.
This is an early-stage technology announcement, not confirmation of a granted patent or an available installation product. No retail launch date or product warranty is stated. Installers would still need product-specific test data and application guidance before comparing it with films they can buy today.
