Indoor air quality is becoming a big issue. As commercial
building owners become more aware of the issue, they
will be asking manufacturers and suppliers to provide
them with emission data on all products used inside
the facility. Energy-saving window films will be one
of the products that building owners begin to request
emission data as outlined by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
A sample of 3M sun control window film (Neutral 20)
was tested in accordance with the EPA for the Total
Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) emission factor and
the result was very positive. Total emissions from the
laminated film were below minimum detection limits (<
1.0 micrograms/m per hour). 3M is confident that all
of its sun control window films will pass this
critical test for indoor air quality since 20 Neutral
contains many of the coatings used in other films.
While you may not need this data today, it will become
necessary in the future. It is good to know that 3M
window films pass the test.
