Solar Gard announced the VortexIR Ceramic Film Series on April 16, 2019. The release described nanoscale ceramic particles incorporated into a window-film polymer to absorb ultraviolet and infrared light.

The company positioned the range as an automotive option combining different visible-light choices with solar-control properties. It also promoted compatibility with phones, navigation and satellite radio, contrasting the ceramic approach with metal-containing films.

Those were manufacturer descriptions. The announcement did not provide an independently reviewed comparison across vehicles, devices and competing products, so this brief does not rank its performance or repeat a best-in-class claim.

The release provides a dated introduction milestone for the ceramic range. It does not establish current availability, a legal tint level for a particular vehicle or a guarantee about visibility under every driving condition.
