Ceramic Vs. Dyed Window Tint Film
The main difference between ceramic window and dyed window tint is what each film is made out of. Ceramic film is designed utilizing nano-ceramic technology, creating the highest quality and most durable window film on the market. Dyed window film is created using a plastic polymer, dye, and other types of UV blockers. Dyed window tint often gets a bad rap when put up against ceramic film, but high quality dyed film like XPEL’s PRIME CS window tint proves that is only a misconception. In fact, XPEL’S ceramic and dyed window films are both backed by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant. Both films also help reduce glare, provide crystal clear signal reception and help to enhance vehicle aesthetics. Dyed film is a great choice for those looking for a more affordable window tint option. While ceramic window film is worth the investment due to its ability to provide 98% infrared heat rejection, keeping your vehicle cooler, and your passengers more comfortable all while helping to increase fuel efficiency.
