Optical Grade PET FilmStrong AdhesiveSecurity ProtectClear Color
Product Summary
SF12 is a clear architectural safety film built on optical grade PET film. At 1 ply and 12.0 mil, it is specified for glazing where glass shatter retention matters more than solar heat rejection: when a pane breaks, the film keeps the fragments in place instead of letting them fall into the occupied space below.
The clear construction leaves facades, glazing and interior glass visually unchanged. 90% visible light transmission keeps interiors bright and the view undistorted, 88% UV rejection limits fading of interior finishes, and a strong adhesive layer delivers the security protect performance the film is made for. A 6-year quality warranty applies to the product.

Key Features
12.0 Mil 1-Ply Safety Build
A 1 ply, 12.0 mil film classified as safety clear, specified for glass shatter retention on architectural glazing.
90% Visible Light Transmission
Keeps interiors bright and views undistorted, so daylight and facade appearance stay close to bare glass.
88% UV Rejection
Blocks the bulk of UV radiation that fades interior finishes, fabrics and surface coatings.
Strong Adhesive Security Layer
Engineered for security protect performance, holding glass fragments in place after breakage.
10% Infrared Cut
Contributes a measured reduction in solar heat gain without darkening clear glazing.
6-Year Quality Warranty
Supplied with a stated 6-year quality warranty for specification and procurement confidence.

Models and Options
SF12 is the configuration detailed on this page: 1 ply, 12.0 mil, safety clear, 90% VLT, 10% IR cut, 88% UV rejection, clear color and a 6-year quality warranty. Architectural projects differ in glazing size and glass type, so send your glazing schedule and required roll width to the sales team and the available film configuration will be confirmed before you specify.
Materials and Structure
The film is built on optical grade PET film, 1 ply at 12.0 mil. Optical grade PET is used for clarity: at 90% VLT the layer stays visually neutral instead of hazy, and the clear color leaves the original tone of the glass unchanged. A strong adhesive bonds the film to the glass surface and provides the security protect behaviour of a safety film by holding fragments together once a pane breaks.
Installation follows standard film practice with a hot air gun, installation squeegees, a slip solution sprayer, and a CNC film cutting plotter running DAP cutting software.
Applications
SF12 serves the construction industry as architectural window film, and is used across commercial and residential real estate as well as glass glazing and tinting work. It suits glazing where safety clear performance is the priority, running passively 24/7 for UV shielding and glass shatter resistance.
Service conditions include intense solar radiation, high UV exposure, high ambient temperature, humidity and outdoor weathering from roughly -30°C to 80°C.

Customization
Customization is supported by an in-house film operation: a 133,333 m² factory, 220+ employees, an annual output of 48,000,000 m, and a 100-engineer R&D team that has developed more than 400 types of customized solar film products and holds over 50 patents, including 14 invention patents. Share the required roll width, glazing dimensions and target performance, and the team will confirm what can be produced for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SF12 architecture film?
It is a clear safety film on optical grade PET, 1 ply at 12.0 mil, with 90% VLT, 10% IR cut and 88% UV rejection, supplied with a 6-year quality warranty.
Is SF12 a safety film or a solar control film?
It is a safety clear film. Its documented function is security protect and glass shatter retention. Infrared cut is 10%, so heat rejection is limited compared with solar control grades.
How much daylight does the film block?
Very little. VLT is 90%, so interior daylight levels stay close to bare glass and the view through the pane remains clear.
Does it help against UV fading?
Yes. It rejects 88% of UV radiation, the main cause of fading in interior finishes, fabrics and coatings.
What warranty applies to SF12?
The product carries a 6-year quality warranty.
What tools are needed for installation?
A hot air gun, installation squeegees and a slip solution sprayer; a CNC film cutting plotter with DAP cutting software is used for pre-cut patterns.
How do I request a sample or quotation?
Send the roll width, quantity, glass type and destination to the sales team. Minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed against your specific order requirements.
