Jasa Sarjana and Riken Technos have launched the Rikeguard series of films, which they claim is the world’s first antimicrobial solar and security window film. How does it work, you ask?
Well, the film uses a proprietary, positively charged antiviral agent that attracts negatively charged viruses and bacteria. The companies claim that the Rikeguard film’s antiviral agent is able to disintegrate the “protective casing” of the microbes, thus neutralising them upon contact.
A Japanese organisation that specialises in manufacturing and testing antiviral/antibacterial agents, Society of International Sustaining Growth for Antimicrobial Articles (SIAA), has even certified that Rikeguard possesses 99.99% effectiveness against viruses and bacteria. Apparently, this is 100 times more effective than the base SIAA requirements, thus meeting the highest international standards.
In Japan, the Rikeguard films (particularly the Rivex Rikeguard variant) are used by Coca-Cola Japan for its 30,000 vending machines. Japan Rail also uses Rivex on key consumer touchpoints, such as its ticketing machines, touchscreen monitors, tablet devices, and information display screens.
For those considering this brand of window film, Jasa Sarjana said the Rivex Rikeguard series of films will be available in Malaysia from October 2020. The installation cost starts from RM4,000 for passenger vehicles. The films are manufactured in Japan, and the antimicrobial properties are said to work throughout the warranty period.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Bravo to this made in Japan. Antivirus
Leave car out whole day in the hot sun and it will kirr any virus or bacteria. No need expensip tint.
Park under hot sun for few hours, whatever virus/bacteria also die la
So mean the tinted car wouldn’t get virus? Person need to hide inside the car to avoid getting virus infection? wtf…
quickly cut and sew these film into wearable clothes then thou will be antiviral antibac safe LOL
This is ridiculous – what’s the point of this when the tint is on the inner surface of the window? Even in Japan where it is used is on surfaces which are frequently touched by large amounts of people. Perhaps the only use for this is in taxi’s and other public transport vehicles. But at that price which company is going to outfit their fleet with this? As the saying goes – a fool and his money are soon parted.
any film to make driver more handsome?? hihihi
I see a lot of comments, that are negatively charged, innovation should be encouraged. The film can stop transfer of virus from the commonly touched surface, without the need of disinfection or heat. Even STC Films Canada have launched one, so if you have to install a tint film why not install one with the additional benefit?
