During the patented computer-controlled "deep dying process" the polymer matrix is penetrated by UV absorbers and/or colour pigments. In this way the films are directly tinted and not merely coated with colour, thus attaining the best possible colour stability and resistance to abrasion.

Aluminium is heated in a high vacuum and vapour plated onto the film. The thickness of the metal layer is controlled to ensure unsurpassed visual quality.

During the sputtering process (vacuum coating by cathodic Sputtering) metal atoms are introduced into the surface of the film. Alloys and metals such as gold, silver, tin, chromium nickel, copper, titanium or stainless steel are processed using this procedure.

The manufacturing processes used to produce security film at the CPFilms plants in Virginia and the United Kingdom rely heavily on expert coating and laminating. The coating and laminating department has the ability to produce multi-layer security and combination solar films in roll widths up to seventy-two inches.

The lamination of the various layers as well as the application of mounting adhesives is performed in this department. This phase of the process is critical to the performance and longevity of the product.

The new LLumar PrecisionCut System is an all-in-one source for your automated film cutting needs. It is a combination of CPFilms' proprietary software, pattern database and Graphtec plotter all customized to cut LLumar auto and flat glass films, safety and security films, paint protection films and vinyl with extreme accuracy.

LLumar PrecisionCut has everything you can imagine in a cutting system for the advanced user, while keeping things simple and flexible for the average user. You can minimize film waste by moving patterns on screen or you can simply cut the kit “as is” to improve shop efficiency. Either way, in the time it takes to click a mouse, you will be cutting the most precise fitting micro-edged pattern the industry has ever seen.

LLumar PrecisionCut™ Software can allow you to cut:

• Paint Protection Films Kits
  The system cuts vehicle kits with precision. The kits have smooth edges and corners for an easy lay-down during installation.
  
• Automotive Glass Tinting
  Find the vehicle pattern you need quickly and easily. LLumar PrecisionCut reduces time and simplifies the most difficult part of an auto tinting—cutting the pattern.
  
• Flat Glass Films
  Enter the dimensions for nearly any window size to make a large job more manageable. Micro rounding corners and the ability to pre-cut Palladian windows accurately speeds up installation and can significantly reduce waste. Pre-cut thousands of French panes for big jobs, and dramatically increase your on-site productivity and customer satisfaction.
  
• Safety Film
  Accurately pre-cutting thick safety and security films tremendously increases efficiency and quality in this very labor-intensive market.
  
• Graphics and Logos
  Graphic images and designs (of specified file types) can be imported and cut from decorative films. A complete design creation utility is included, enabling design specialists to built and save their own library of text and graphical pieces.
