How these tint films made
- Nano Ceramic Tint: Uses super tiny ceramic particles in the film. They’re not metal, so they don’t block signals.
- Sputter Tint: Made by “spraying” thin layers of metal onto the film in a high-tech machine. That metal layer bounces heat away.
Tint film heat and UV protection
- Nano Ceramic: Blocks a lot of heat (over 90%) by absorbing it and stops almost all UV rays from entering.
- Sputter Tint: Blocks heat by reflecting it out. Also good at stopping UV, but depends on the type of metal used.
Look and clarity
- Nano Ceramic: Looks natural, not shiny. Very clear, even at night.
- Sputter Tint: Has a more metallic, mirror-like shine. Some people love the look, others prefer something less flashy.
GPS, SmartTAG and phone signals
- Nano Ceramic: No problem at all, signals pass through smoothly.
- Sputter Tint: Because it has metal, it can block signals a little. Newer versions reduce this, but it’s still possible.
Tint film durability
- Nano Ceramic: Doesn’t fade or turn purple over time. Very long-lasting.
- Sputter Tint: Also strong, but if installed with cheap adhesive, it might haze or peel after years.
Price
-
Both are premium products and cost more than standard or dyed films. Nano ceramic is usually the most expensive, sputter slightly lower but still high-end.
JPJ car tint rules
Both must follow the same JPJ law:
- Front windscreen: at least 70% light through.
- Front side windows: at least 50% light through.
- Rear windows: no limit (as long as your car has side mirrors).
Nano Ceramic Tint & Sputter Tint
Which is better for you?
- Pick Nano Ceramic if you want a clear, natural look, maximum comfort, and no signal problems.
- Pick Sputter Tint if you like the shiny reflective style and want strong heat bounce-back.
Nano ceramic is like invisible sunblock for your car. Sputter tint is like reflective sunglasses. Both protect you, both can be JPJ-legal, but the choice depends on your style and needs.
