BEIJING, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. /quotes/zigman/104285 FFHL -2.13% ("Fuwei Films" or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality BOPET plastic films in China, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Fuwei") has recently received three utility patents in August 2011 from the Ministry of State Intellectual Property Office of PRC. These utility patents relate to anti-condensation automotive window film, oligomer-proof automotive window PET base film and anti-flaming matte film for architectural heat insulation.
Fuwei Films' patented automotive window film features high transparency, good transmittance, high gloss and anti-condensation properties, which tackles the weakness of prevailing PET films which have poor visibility through the glass due to condensation when there is a big difference between temperatures inside and outside of the automobile.
Fuwei Films' patented oligomer-proof automotive window PET base film features superior optical characteristics including clarity and is able to prevent oligomer formation in the process of production and use, and its exposure to sunlight over time will not give the exposed face of the film a cloudy appearance. This makes it a more ideal high-end automotive window film.
Fuwei Films' patented anti-flaming matte film for architectural heat insulation features outstanding strength as well as heat insulation and anti-flaming properties, which is superior to prevailing PET films with poor anti-flaming properties which can be flammable during the fire.
"We are pleased to have received our new patents, since we believe that R&D has always been one of the key competitive advantages of the Company. We expect to continue to focus on R&D and commercialization of new products to enhance the competitiveness of Fuwei Films and to continue to grow our product lines and markets," said Mr. Xiaoan He, Chairman and CEO of the Company.
