Tint Atlanta Introduces Clear Window Films for Trucking Industry

Most of the large trucks in the US are not fixed with laminated side windows or window films, which may cause damage to truck drivers, since they are exposed to UV rays. In most of the cases, the exposure of UV-A rays may result in skin cancer.

According to the studies conducted on skin cancer in the US, the driver’s side or the left side of the body was affected by skin cancer in 53% of cases. To make it worse, the truck drivers travel up to 60 h/wk on road, hence the risk of melanoma or skin cancer is higher for them.

IWFA had realized this problem and discussed this issue with the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the US to solve it. FMCSA clarified the safety regulation, which permitted vehicles to use “clear” window films.

Tint Atlanta’s UV window film has been developed according to FMCSA specifications and protects drivers from 99% of UV-A and UV-B rays. These films have more than 70% net Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) for trucks with more than 26,001 lbs weight, which provides clarity for viewing through windows. Hence, fleet managers, owners and drivers can use these films.

According to local tint laws, the window film has been already used for light vehicles, including cars and vans. The film complies with the tint law standards in almost all 50 states. Moreover, this window film has been proposed by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
