For installers, 3M™ Dichroic Glass Finishes are engineered for reliable, trouble-free application. The permanent, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive ensures strong, long-lasting adhesion on flat glass, while wet application helps minimise bubbles and rework. With up to 10 years’ expected lifespan on interior vertical applications and excellent UV rejection (at least 97%), these films offer durable performance in conference rooms, reception areas, partitions, retail spaces and private offices.
Designed as a non-metallic, non-conductive and non-corrosive solution, these dichroic films are compatible with a wide range of commercial glazing and are simple to maintain using standard non-abrasive cleaning methods. Consistent film thickness, defined application temperature ranges and clear storage guidelines all support professional, repeatable results across multi-site roll-outs and specification-driven projects.
