Description:
RC-3 Vivarium Film (formally called Rose Chocolate) - Product Number 3280 | Specialty Medical Window Film for Lab Research & Study on Rodents | Used on glass and clear polycarbonate materials to filter out the UV blue-green light spectrum (200-580um). Successful applications of RC-3 create controlled light conditions for lab situations such as: nocturnal animals living in cages. Usage for, but not limited to: lab windows, doors, cages, cubicles, light fixtures, and bulb covers. RC-3 is constructed of laminated dyed color polyester films designed for the control of specific spectral light and transmission levels and heat treated with UV inhibitors. RC-3 is then laminated with an acrylic adhesive for applications to glass and polycarbonates and coated with a scratch resistant coating. Wavelength readings are tested on the Filmstar Report Generator (Spectrogard Model 96). Scratch coating tests are per AMTM D1044 "Standard Test Method for Resistance of Transparent Plastics to Surface Abrasion". Field life is 25 to 35+ years for interior applications.
Applications:
This film is designed for long-lasting application to (but not limited to) glass. Material is applied wet, using a specific soap solution.
Adhesive:
A solvent-based polyacrylic permanent adhesive is laminated to the film. The adhesive is optically clear for high visible observations and is treated with UV inhibitors for long-lasting performance in direct sunlight. All films are lined with a silicone liner to protect the adhesive during storage and application.
Scratch Coating:
Solar Graphics films are covered with a scratch-resistant coating to ensure long-lasting protection from cleaning and wear and tear. These coatings may show an iridescence or "pearlescent" look on the inside surface due to reactions to some fluorescent or artificial lighting under high-contrast conditions. Changing to a whiter light source like full spectrum bulbs or LEDs helps neutralize these patterns.
Warranties:
Solar Graphics films materials are warrantied for a period of 10 years from the date of film purchase for interior application; and warrantied for a period of 1 year from the date of film purchase for outside installations. Warranties may be extended by Solar Graphics upon review of the project, use of film, and approval of installation contractors. If the film product is deemed defective, Solar Graphic's sole and exclusive obligation is to provide the purchaser's replacement of the window film.
