Phantom Nano Carbon and Ceramic Window Tint

Each film has its own set of advantages and drawbacks forcing car owners to make a compromise no matter what they chose. However, Rayno Window Film has revolutionised the automotive window film industry with a continued drive for innovation. They have successfully found a formula to combine the unique strengths of carbon material and ceramic material, while also developing new techniques that tackle their drawbacks. The result is the Phantom Nano Carbon Ceramic Window Film offers the best attributes of both materials without any compromises for the drivers. 

To understand what makes the Phantom series so revolutionary, let’s take a look at the differences between carbon vs. ceramic auto window tint:

Carbon Window Tinting Film

Carbon tint is infused with carbon particles, which are highly effective at blocking infrared light. This helps keep car interiors cooler and won’t fade over time the way dyed films do. However, the main disadvantage of carbon is that the particles are so large that light can bounce inside the film, creating glare and haze that make it difficult to see through at times.

Ceramic Window Film

Ceramic window film, on the other hand, is made with non conductive ceramic particles that are small enough to prevent the disadvantages of the previous film while still blocking infrared light. However, ceramic car window tint oxidises relatively quickly. This means the nano ceramic window film will make the film’s original colour lighter, so the film’s shade becomes lighter, faster than carbon films.

Phantom Nano Carbon Ceramic Window Film

The Phantom Nano Carbon Ceramic window film series incorporates innovative technology that allows both carbon and ceramic particles to share the duty of protecting your car’s interior with the advantages of both while significantly reducing the downsides they would have on their own. The unique formula decreases the size of carbon particles down to a nano scale, preventing the disadvantages from the typical carbon films while maintaining its incredible durability. What’s more, by encapsulating high-purity ceramic particles, the film further enhances the colour stability of ceramic while maintaining its higher visibility.

Properly installed window tint should not significantly affect visibility at night. However, extremely dark tint may reduce visibility, especially in low-light conditions. It’s crucial to choose a tint that complies with legal regulations and ensures safe driving visibility.

As professional tint installers, we use special tools and solutions to cleanly remove old window film when replacing worn tints or changing to a different darkness or type. Attempting to rip off tint without the proper technique can shatter glass and damage rubber seals around the window.

Never try to scrape away the old tint yourself. The safest option is always to have a skilled automotive tint shop team handle the removal process.

For the front windscreen, you can only tint a strip at the top of your windscreen due to Queensland regulations and laws. You’ll need to choose a VLT percentage that provides the protection you want while remaining legal. Many customers with coupes or sedans get the front sides tinted to the legal limit (35%) and the rear windows to 20%. For SUVs/4wds we can install a clear version of whichever film you choose over the privacy glass, which will provide heat/UV rejection as the front door windows.  Our team can advise on the best formula for your specific vehicle type.
