AIS IR Shield
BEAT THE HEAT
AIS IR Shield glass is a specialized value-added product having Infrared absorbent material dispersed in the plastic interlayer (PVB) of the laminated glass. This absorbs infrared rays and reduces the amount of heat in the car.
Features and Benefits
- Reduces cabin from heating even if parked under the sun
- Improves air-conditioner’s performance due to less heat transfer from outside
- Ensures longer life of upholstery due to blocking of UV rays
- Adds to the comfort in using seats, steering wheels by reducing IR rays
- Keeps the cabin relatively cooler than the standard windshields

Frequently Asked Questions
An IR Shield is a specialised laminated glass that incorporates infrared absorbent material in the PVB interlayer. This IR glass is designed to significantly reduce heat transfer into the car cabin by absorbing infrared rays. This technology helps keep the interior cooler, enhances air conditioning efficiency and blocks harmful rays to protect the upholstery and interior surfaces of your vehicle.
The IR reflective glass has an Infrared absorbent material embedded within its PVB interlayer. When sunlight passes through the glass, this material effectively absorbs the infrared radiation, which is the energy responsible for heating the car’s interior. By preventing these heat-carrying rays from passing into the cabin, the glass significantly cuts down on heat transfer. This keeps the cabin from heating up excessively, even when the vehicle is parked in the sun.
Compared to standard laminated glass, the IR-absorbing interlayer enables the blocking or absorption of heat from the infrared portion of sunlight. This means less heat transfer, lower cabin temperature and improved comfort without needing extra glass films. This enhanced heat reduction improves your air-conditioner’s performance, increases occupant comfort and ensures a longer life for the upholstery.
Yes, the IR glass blocks UV rays and absorbs infrared radiation. This way, it helps protect passengers from harmful ultraviolet exposure and prevents fading or deterioration of interior materials such as upholstery, dashboard and leather surfaces. This dual protection from both heat and UV rays enhances overall comfort and preserves the vehicle’s premium look over time.
The IR windscreen can make the car cabin significantly cooler compared to standard windshield glass by reducing heat transmission from sunlight. It minimises interior temperature rise, creating a more comfortable driving environment and reducing the need for excessive air conditioning, especially during hot weather conditions.
No, the IR reflective glass does not impact visibility or brightness because the IR absorption is achieved within the PVB interlayer (rather than heavy tinting or reflective coatings). This ensures drivers enjoy a clear, natural view of the road ahead at all times. This balance between comfort and clarity makes the glass infrared an ideal choice for modern vehicles, offering superior thermal protection without compromising driving safety or aesthetics.
