Lumenco Scientific Files Patent for Breakthrough Solar-Control Film Technology

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., November 4, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Lumenco Scientific, a materials technology company based in Englewood, Colorado, has announced a groundbreaking development in window technology that could disrupt both the architectural and automotive markets. The company has filed a non-provisional U.S. patent application for a new class of nanostructured solar-control films, which promise to offer superior performance at a fraction of the cost of competing products.

According to Mark Raymond, President of Lumenco Scientific, the new film technology is a significant advancement in the field of solar control.

The new film technology, which uses a proprietary nano selective-metallization process, allows for the clear transmission of visible light while blocking unwanted solar heat. This feature is particularly beneficial for both architectural and automotive applications, as it can help reduce the heat inside buildings and vehicles, making them more comfortable and energy-efficient. Additionally, the film's "radiative cooling" capability allows excessive heat inside a building or car to escape outward, further enhancing its effectiveness.

Lumenco Scientific's market analysis shows that the new film has a manufacturing cost that is 80% lower than that of competing products from major brands, which have similar, or even inferior, solar-control performance. The technology delivers more than 63% total solar energy rejection with more than 60% visible light transmission, making it an ideal solution for enhancing the performance of windows in various applications.

The company's innovative approach to manufacturing the films is based on a foundation of 65 patents in optical security, developed by its parent company, Lumenco, Inc. The new platform, the first manufacturing-scale process for producing discrete metal nanostructures on flexible substrates without atomic layer deposition, is expected to bring significant benefits to the industry.

Lumenco Scientific is actively exploring opportunities for cooperation with potential licensees and manufacturing partners.

With the initial patent filed, Lumenco Scientific is poised to revolutionize the way windows are designed and manufactured, offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution for both the architectural and automotive industries.
