HEAT INSULATION ●TRANSPARENT ●
Optional Function Enhancement – Design Possibilities
The lineup maintains the heat insulation, transparency, and electromagnetic wave transmission qualities of the Basic Series,
while adding new functions such as anti-fogging.
TECHNOLOGY
Created through synergy with products for the IT field, our technology provides unprecedented value
with analysis, mixing, and coating at the nano level.
Heat Insulation + Fogging Prevention: ICE-µ fog clears
Car window fogging occurs when there is a large temperature difference between the inside of the car and the outside air.
Especially on the windshield, when this phenomenon occurs, visibility deteriorates and safe driving is affected.
To alleviate this phenomenon, RIKEN TECHNOS proposes ICE-µ fog clears, which is a conventional anti-fog film with the added heat insulation performance proven with ICE-µ.
Especially for EV cars, which are expected to become widely used in the future, conventional defogging systems (defoggers) consume a lot of electricity, and the impact on the car’s running distance is not small.
By installing ICE-µ fog clears, the heat insulation and fogging prevention effects will be enhanced, for a double effect to support a safe and comfortable driving experience.
Other Functions
In addition to the ICE-µ series, RIKEN TECHNOS offers a lineup of various functional glass films to contribute to creating a safe and comfortable society.
Anti-Reflection (AR): Realizes best-in-class anti-reflection performance. The lineup also includes outdoor-use grade and antiviral grade film.
Anti-Fog: This film absorbs moisture on the film surface to prevent glass fogging, and combines high transmittance with scratch resistance.
Anti-Stain: Easy-clean film that can be easily cleaned even if dirt adheres to it.
Rear Projection: A film that is transparent but can be used for projecting images using a projector. It has been adopted for show windows, etc., and is also used in taxi windows for advertising purposes.
Recycling: Film based on recycled raw materials that can be used in the entire lineup from the Basic Series to the Unique Series.
QUALITY ACHIEVEMENT: A Track Record of Trust
In Southeast Asia, where high heat insulation performance is required, our products are recognized for their quality.
They are used as genuine products by major automobile manufacturers, mainly in Japan as well as Europe and the United States.
The fact that ICE-µ has been used continuously since 2015 is proof that it is highly evaluated for its quality,
while high installation yield and long-term reliability are also strongly demanded as standard equipment.
Particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, the defect rate has remained extremely low at less than 0.01%,
despite the fact that more than 400,000 units have been installed to date.
This quality stability is supported by our inspection system and clean facilities.
Reliable Quality that Supports Trust
Film production is conducted in an environment that maintains the industry’s highest level of cleanliness (Class 100*)
required for precision machinery and electronic component products.
In addition, we make use of the latest equipment to achieve quality control at the micro level.
Contamination is controlled by a defect detector, and the thickness of the hard coat layer is automatically controlled and corrected.
In addition, visual inspections are conducted by skilled technicians before shipment to control product appearance,
which cannot be captured by detectors.
As a result, our delivery results have expanded to include car manufacturers in Japan as well as the United States and Europe,
and we have consistently received high praise for our quality from our customers.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT: Rigorous Inspections
High-precision defect detectors and strict visual checking by professionals do not miss even the smallest unevenness or coating irregularities.
High quality is maintained by firmly excluding faulty parts.
HIGH FACILITY: Ultra-clean Facilities
Thorough cleaning and high-performance air filters maintain high cleanliness on the production line,
enabling clean coatings free of contamination. Films are manufactured in a clean environment with a cleanliness level of Class 100,
which is comparable to that of a semiconductor plant.
