3M™ Cooling Film

Every degree matters when comfort and perishable cargo are on the line.

When it comes to road deliveries, even a small rise in temperature can turn one more stop into an unbearable challenge. Excess heat doesn’t just make trips difficult for your hardworking delivery team – it can even affect what you’ve worked so hard to deliver on time and on budget.

In public transportation, a temperature change of just a degree or two can make passengers feel uncomfortable and drive them to rethink their travel decisions.

3M™ Cooling Film is engineered to help. With proprietary, highly reflective technology, it reduces interior heat buildup in fleet vehicles and rail carriages, helping keep passengers and cargo up to 5.5°C cooler.

Backed by a 5‑year warranty, it delivers performance you can count on – when and where it matters most.

  • How it works

    When you apply 3M™ Cooling Film to the roof of a vehicle, it helps reduce heat buildup at the source.
     

    • Its highly reflective surface deflects more than 85% of incoming solar energy, limiting how much heat reaches the vehicle below
    • The film also has high thermal emissivity – over 91% in the atmospheric window – which dissipates absorbed heat away from the surface and back to the cooler sky

    This creates passive cooling to keep interiors cooler without external power.

  • Sunlight causes heat buildup in vehicles and 3M cooling film reflects solar energy and emits heat into the sky passively cooling without using power.
