Amber 81
Product Overview
Amber 81 is a spectrally selective architectural film that blocks UV light up to the low visible light range of 500nm. This film is essential for environments such as clean rooms and hospital operating rooms where extreme UV light blockage is required. Amber 81 also aids individuals with conditions like xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) by filtering out dangerous wavelengths. With a visible light transmission rate of 56% and over 99% UV rejection, this film ensures high protection while maintaining visibility. Madico's rigorous testing and quality assurance provide reliable and durable performance in various applications.
