IQue — Uniquely Intelligent

IQue Logo IQue, engineered by V-KOOL® is an endorsed brand by V-KOOL®.

IQue features a whole new range of product offerings customized to meet the needs for the architectural market. IQue's anchor product represents the next generation with 10 multi-layer sputtered metals, designed for higher performance. The first generation of V-KOOL® films is already manufactured with 7-complex layers of sputtered stacks. IQue's Generation 2 (53GII) film is developed over 10 years of extensive R&D and is the first of its kind in the world. The film is capable of rejecting about 60% of the solar energy, while allowing close to 60% of daylight to be transmitted through the glass windows. Another selling point of this product is the lowest ever visible light reflectivity of 7%, achieving the esthetics of natural glass transparency.

This simply denotes the ideal solution for architects, building project managers, and business and homeowners who seek to bring the 'exterior' into interior. Make buildings and homes not only visually appealing, but also environmentally friendly and cost-efficient.

The anchor product of IQue, 53GII, represents the next generation film and is the world's first 10-sputter layer film developed by the late renowned scientist, Dr. Gene Woodard from Silicon Valley. The first generation of V-KOOL® films is already manufactured with 7-complex layers of sputtered stacks. For 53GII, it is developed over 10 years of extensive R&D and is the first of its kind in the world. This technological brilliance rejects over 96% of infra-red rays, while allowing as much as 58% of daylight to be transmitted through, achieving a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.39. It is the only clear film in the market with the glare control feature. Another unique characteristic of this product is its lowest ever visible light reflectivity of 7% - maintaining the aesthetic of natural transparency of glass, which architects generally prefer.

Safety & Security

Today, glass usage pervades almost every area of our modern life. With continued technological innovations, glass has become a material of choice with contemporary architects. Now, glass clad facades are no longer the domain of skyscrapers and commercial buildings. Modern home design, retail and public spaces all have to a certain degree, embraced glass.

Glass may not necessary be the weakest link in a building's design; but it can potentially be the most dangerous. From glass damage due to inclement weather to deliberate acts of terrorism, glass clad facades would require a more robust solution to tackle the problem of deaths and injury arising from flying glass shards. And this solution is IQue Safety & Security films!

While all window films offer a degree of shatter-resistance, IQue Safety & Security films are designed specifically to withstand impact and to hold glass together. IQue Safety & Security films are tested to withstand impact, bomb blast and missile penetration, thereby reducing the liability and risk of injury from flying glass shards in the event of accidents.

IQue Safety & Security films are available with or without industry-leading spectrally selective heat rejection properties. They come in thickness of 4 and 8 mil with varying visible light transmission from 32% to 73%. IQue's Spectrally-Selective Safety Film (SS800/73), formally known as V-KOOL® Secure, is the only fragment retention film in the world that can reject up to 94.8% of infra-red and 99% of ultra-violet rays without the use of dark or reflective tint. Building and homeowners can now employ the dual advantage of a solar control film and a fragment retention film.

Favorable results from the Bomb Blast Mitigation Test (ASTM F1642-04 and the GSA “Standard Test Method for Windows and Glazing Systems Subject to Dynamic Overpressure Loadings”) have demonstrated the effectiveness of IQue Safety & Security films in mitigating glass fragment hazards when subjected to bomb blast loads. IQue Safety & Security films have met the stringent US General Services Administration (GSA) testing requirements under Category C of the GSA Building Classification, achieving a GSA Performance Condition of 3B or better, which means that glass pieces shattered from the blast land no further than 3 meters from a window coated with IQue Safety & Security films. This is equivalent to a low hazard rating according to ASTM F1642-04, which equates to a high protection level provided by our films.
