3M has officially launched 3M Ceramic NR, a new generation window film, in Vietnam. As a 3M Authorized Dealer, P10X attended the launch event to witness the new film in person, and we are excited to share it early with our Malaysian audience. Before anyone asks: this is a Vietnam-market launch. It is not announced or available in Malaysia yet. Here is a quick, no-fluff breakdown of what it is, the numbers behind it, where it stands today, and what Malaysian drivers can do in the meantime.
Important for Malaysian readers: 3M Ceramic NR has launched in Vietnam, not Malaysia. As of now there is no Malaysian launch date, pricing or availability. This article is an early heads-up, not an offer. We will update it the moment anything is confirmed for Malaysia.
What is 3M Ceramic NR
3M Ceramic NR, short for Nano Reflective, is built on 3M's new Ceramic Hybrid technology, combining nano-ceramic with an ultra-thin reflective layer. Ceramic handles heat and infrared rejection without the fading issues of cheap dyed film, while the reflective layer adds extra solar performance. 3M also gives the film a natural, non-mirror color tone for a clean look with added privacy, and a heat-activated self-healing top coat that helps minor surface scratches fade out over time. The result is a film aimed at keeping the cabin cooler, cutting glare and protecting you from UV, all in a neater, more practical package for everyday driving.
The numbers that matter
These are the headline figures 3M quotes for Ceramic NR. They point to strong heat and glare control at the top end of the range.
| Performance | 3M Ceramic NR (up to) |
| Total solar energy rejection (TSER) | 69% |
| Infrared energy rejection | 68% |
| Infrared rejection (IRR) | 91% |
| UV protection | 99% |
| Glare reduction | 93% |
| Warranty | 10 years |
NR shades for every window
Ceramic NR comes in four darkness levels so you can match each glass position to your needs for heat, privacy and looks.
- NR 5: the darkest option, best for maximum privacy on rear glass.
- NR 15: dark with strong privacy, a popular rear cabin choice.
- NR 25: a balanced mid shade for a clean, comfortable look.
- NR 35: the lightest of the four, suited to front windows where more visibility helps.
What it could mean for Malaysian drivers
Our climate is exactly where a film like this earns its keep. Long hours of strong sun heat up the cabin, harsh glare tires your eyes on highways like the PLUS and KESAS, and constant UV ages your interior and skin. High infrared and solar rejection means a cooler cabin and less strain on your air conditioning, strong glare reduction makes daytime and evening drives easier, and 99% UV protection helps guard both your dashboard and your skin. In short, the spec sheet lines up well with what Malaysian drivers actually struggle with.
Where 3M Ceramic NR is available right now
For now, 3M Ceramic NR is a Vietnam-market film. It was officially launched there through 3M's Vietnam network, and P10X attended the launch event as a 3M Authorized Dealer to inspect the film and its performance data first-hand. We have not found 3M Ceramic NR offered under this name in any other market yet, including Malaysia. Treat any local "Ceramic NR" listing with caution until 3M Malaysia confirms it.
Not available in Malaysia yet
To be completely clear: 3M Ceramic NR is not announced, priced or sold in Malaysia at this time. We are sharing it early because we attended the launch and want our customers to know what 3M is rolling out in the region. The moment it is confirmed for Malaysia, we will update this page with shades, pricing and booking.
What Malaysian drivers can get today: 3M Ceramic IR
While we wait, the closest film you can actually buy now from a 3M Authorized Dealer like 3M Pro Shop is the 3M Ceramic IR Series. It uses 3M's nano-ceramic technology for strong heat rejection and a clean, neutral look, and unlike the Ceramic NR hybrid build, Ceramic IR is metal-free. Here is how the headline numbers compare, using each film's published "up to" figures.
| Spec (up to) | 3M Ceramic NR (Vietnam launch) | 3M Ceramic IR (available now) |
| Construction | Ceramic and metal hybrid | Nano-ceramic, metal-free |
| Total solar energy rejection | 69% | 63% |
| Infrared rejection (IRR) | 91% | 95% |
| UV protection | 99% | 99.9% |
| Availability | Vietnam only | Malaysia, via 3M Pro Shop |
The takeaway: the two films are tuned slightly differently, but both aim for a cooler, lower-glare, UV-protected cabin. If you want genuine 3M performance now, Ceramic IR is the film to ask us about.
