Cosmo First commences commercial production of Cosmo Sunshield window films, leveraging four decades of film innovation

Cosmo First Ltd., a global leader in rigid and flexible packaging and specialty chemicals, has commenced commercial production of its innovative window films under the brand Cosmo Sunshield, following successful market trials. Drawing on the parent company’s four decades of expertise in film

manufacturing, robust R&D capabilities, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure, Cosmo Sunshield introduces a premium range of automotive and architectural window films designed to deliver superior sun protection, energy savings, and enhanced aesthetics.

Cosmo Sunshield’s window films utilize cutting-edge nanotechnology to filter sunlight, allowing natural light to illuminate interiors while blocking up to 90% of harmful infrared (IR) rays and more than 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays. By significantly reducing heat gain through windows - which can account for up to 30% of unwanted indoor heat - these films help homeowners, businesses and car owners lower air conditioning usage, cut electricity bills by up to 20%, and protect interiors from sun-induced fading and damage.

The product portfolio includes heat rejection films that maintain indoor comfort without sacrificing daylight, as well as safety and privacy films that offer shatter-resistance and varying levels of visibility. Available in a range of shades and styles, these glass films are engineered for versatility, catering to residential, commercial, and automotive applications across India, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.

Cosmo First’s commitment to innovation is underpinned by its world-class R&D centre and a team of over 30 scientists and technologists, which has secured multiple patents in specialty films and continues to pioneer sustainable solutions. “Extreme heat waves and rising energy demand require decisive action. Through Cosmo Sunshield, we are not merely introducing window films; we are offering a solution for the challenges of our time,” said Mr Pankaj Poddar, Group CEO, Cosmo First. “With India’s ambitious sustainability goals and our commitment to innovation, Cosmo Sunshield is a step towards a cooler, safer, and more resilient world.”

The global window film market is projected to reach $3.99 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.5%, driven by the need for energy-efficient solutions, green building initiatives, and growing awareness around UV protection. Cosmo Sunshield offers more than 100 specialized products, including decorative, shatter-proof, and multi-colour films, providing tailored solutions for diverse customer needs.

With a typical payback period of 2–5 years, Cosmo Sunshield window films represent a smart investment for long-term energy savings and sustainability, helping customers manage heat at its source while reducing environmental impact.
