Not much, the film if fine to fairly high temps and if you can put your hand on the headlight and hold it for a few seconds your looking at around 150 degrees. I'll have to see what the full specs are when I get the sample and do the testing.

''Why was that user, IIRC, banned? <---- genuine question.''
Mystery ...

It was a test of absorbtivity @ 900nm , veil = black stain ,
green = an organic dye .
Hmm... I vaguely remember someone here used a green dye on their headlights. Was it RacerX? I wonder if it was ^that stuff.
Either way, I also remember a warning that pictures of vehicles with green headlights would get deleted. Never found out why...
Maybe green absorbs infrared??? I wonder if Vermont plates are less reflective than other state plates.Quote:

[ The ones I got are clear? :confused: ]
It's definitely RacerX - I remember him alluding-to/hinting-at this in another post, but I don't know if it's that stuff.....Quote:

IIRC, it was some kind of politics, and IIRC, it was also why The VEIL Guy had come to some conflict with various members of this Forum.
That was before I'd gotten really interested in passive protection, though (given the then-available VEIL G2 wasn't aesthetically "acceptable" for me, to put on my own vehicles), so my recall of that was/is hazy, too.
Thanks, Eloi. :)
'' Thanks, Eloi. ''
A lot of thanks Tsi for your support .
There is some nice chemical that will effectively absorb
IR , not so expensive and very effective but a truly tranparent
one ....still to be discovered.:D
The problem is financing personnal research with limited
money , limited equipment . For my own good I do .
For putting on the market a new product : no thanks ,
too much effort , too much incertainty , too much assle
about patents .... I do use jammer but still
believe in ''onion skin protection''
Our soldiers on their gear clothing use a kind of
absorbing coating in the ir , but not available to the public.
Due to the uv they have to re-do their coating periodically.
Stealth is now a science:cool:
Veil Guy is a precursor with his Veil , he opened the door
to domestic use of military ideas.
Thank you Veil Guy.
Hmm. Very interesting. I too am curious about what you discover, LAN.
Ok, i just got the film today and I waited till the tonight to do some testing, from my opinion, it works really well for how clear it is. Of course I will have to do some testing with alpine using real guns sometime soon, maybe after the holidays, but I have a video of how it works with the blinder heads firing and showing how it effects headlight light output.

That video is very interesting :). I look forward to seeing it against some actual guns.
I just did some tests with the film against my bathroom mirror and using a remote control to see how much it dropped the reflection of the IR, if i went about 3 feet from the mirror you could almost not see the IR reflect anymore while on the side with no film it was still easily visible.
