Commercial and residential builders and architects and homeowners now have access to new BioView\u2122 energy-saving, solar protection film made with sustainable feedstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Toray Plastics (America), Inc., the only United States manufacturer of polypropylene, polyester, metallized, and bio-based films, has developed a bio-based bi-axially oriented polyester (BOPET) film for use in the manufacture of solar control window films for commercial and residential applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Lumirror\u00ae brand BioView\u2122 PET film is manufactured with Toray\u2019s proprietary sustainable resin blends, which are made with approximately 30 percent renewable feedstock. The BioView\u2122 bio-based PET film\u2019s performance is equal to that of traditional solar window films during solar film manufacturing, installation, and use in technically demanding applications that require exceptional optical clarity. Toray Plastics is the global leader in the manufacture of traditional films, made with or without UV protection, used for solar window film applications. The company has been on the leading edge of bio-based resin technology and plans to produce polyester film to be used in the manufacture of solar control window film that is made entirely of sustainable feedstock. A patent is pending for the new film.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very exciting development for window film technology and for the commercial and residential building markets,\u201d says Milan Moscaritolo, Senior Sales and Marketing Director of the Lumirror Division. \u201cThe construction industry continues to look for innovative ways to help developers reduce energy costs. Creating a film that lessens the impact on the environment, without sacrificing solar protection performance, was the natural next step in the evolution of the technology. The BioView\u2122 film represents a perfect marriage between an environment-friendly film and an energy-saving application.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moscaritolo also reports that in 2014, when Toray installed the finished bio-based solar window film at office and manufacturing plant locations on its 70-acre campus in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, the installation was seamless and the film\u2019s performance has been excellent. He notes that Toray\u2019s use of bio-based solar window film is another component of the company\u2019s multi-faceted sustainability program and further burnishes its environment-friendly profile.<\/p>\n

New BioView\u2122 bio-based film is a multi-layer structure with surface and optical qualities that are strictly controlled by Toray\u2019s proprietary co-extrusion technology. \u00a0It is notable for its very low haze, excellent handling and processing characteristics, and high scratch resistance.<\/p>\n
