history edit in the earlier years of the group history product range was limited to standardized popular tints from us manufacturers . back then window tinting was primary used for privacy and protection against harmful ultraviolet rays . the industry then evolved to provide higher heat reduction films through the coating of metals and ceramics on the polyester films . in 2007 filmtack acquired processing facilities for converting thermal transfer ribbon ttr . in what is by far the largest business failure in the group history the collapse of the ttr division in 2009 resulted in the transfer of all warehousing facilities to filmtack s window films division . in 2010 the group celebrated its 30th anniversary and chairman poon t k expressed concern about raising raw material prices and uncertain global demand in the trade . 4 company began to embark on the largest facility upgrading program in history in bid to improve efficiency . by july 2 2011 filmtack completed the us 1.6 million expansion which doubled slitting and rewinding facilities and increased warehousing space to over 23 000sqft . 5 after three years of laboratory and field testing filmtack launched its shield factor paint protection film 6 in 2015 . shield factor is a thermoplastic urethane product that is applied to vehicle surfaces to protect the paintwork from stone chips bug stains and minor abrasions . company slogan edit the inclusion of distribution facilities from ttr into window films portfolio allowed the firm to direct their business objective on stocking up most types of window tints regardless of color darkness or technology which led to filmtack coining the first corporate advertising tagline world s largest range of window films . the new slogan empowering window films businesses was unveiled in 2011 to reflect the corporate focus on b2b business with major private labels and tint shops in the window film industry . technical specialty in window films edit advanced coating technologies edit in the early 1990s the most successful ceramics tint in the market was made using titanium nitride tin . during the same period japanese window films manufacturers figured that antimony tin oxide ato could be added to window films to achieve higher visible light transmission vlt at lower cost as compared to tin given the same heat reduction . however the early ato films production technology was relatively unstable and it was only until 1999 that production breakthrough was truly achieved for ato films . during the early 2000s most of the japanese antimony tin oxide films were procured by filmtack s associated companies in singapore . filmtack also became one of the world s largest sputtered films distributor in mid 2000s . titanium nichrome and silver sputtered films were the three popular metals added to polyester films to achieve solar protection properties for glazing . sputtered semi products were shipped via air to minimize oxidation risk and u.s. made nichrome silver nichrome nsn was the most popular formulation based on regional sales volume . in the late 2000s filmtack dominated global demand for indium tin oxide ito films from japan . ito provides higher vlt than ato and tin given the same heat reduction . in countries with the strictest tinting regulations the ito films 88 % vlt provide the clearest high heat reduction film for automotive tinting . in the architectural arena ito films emerge as the third technology after sputtering films and multi layered optical films to achieve 0.60 shading coefficient for vlt 70 % . by the 2010s filmtack began to focus on launching dual ply or 3 ply nichrome an alloy of nickel and chromium window films to achieve better pareto efficiency between cost and heat reduction . the tougher global economic environment after the 2008 financial crisis created substantial demand for these economical tinting options without noticeable compromising of product heat reduction . rudimentary methods edit the company remains involved in the distribution of traditional dyed films and aluminium metallized films . carbon emission reduction calculator edit in 2013 filmtack introduced the window films carbon emission reduction calculator cerc tool for air conditioning systems . the software simulates the energy workload of operating air conditioners after tinting . the 2010 11 weather data from some of the world s main cities are used in the finding with elementary assumptions based on the 2012 international energy conservation code . 7 corporate leadership edit poon t k chairman
