Material Quality
SUNVISOR.eu
- Manufactured using a proprietary ABS formulation
- Developed in collaboration with the ABS material manufacturer
- Engineered specifically for extreme sun exposure in marine environments
- UV-resistant and impact-resistant
- Designed for long-term structural stability
Typical 3D Printed Sunshades
- Often made from standard ABS, PLA, PETG or ASA
- Not always formulated for prolonged extreme heat exposure
- Material specifications are rarely disclosed
Material formulation is one of the most critical factors in marine use, especially in direct sunlight.
Heat Resistance
Black marine electronics surfaces can reach temperatures up to 89°C (192°F) in direct sunlight.
Sunvisor material resistance:
Tested and rated up to 104°C (219°F).
This provides a safety margin above real-world sun exposure temperatures, reducing the risk of warping or deformation.
Heat resistance specifications are often not publicly stated by other brands.
Glare & Reflection
Some lower-grade manufacturers produce white sunshades to reduce material heat stress.
While lighter colors may reduce material temperature, they can introduce unwanted reflection and glare onto the display screen, especially in bright marine environments.
Sunvisor uses black engineered ABS designed to:
- Avoid screen reflection
- Maintain structural integrity
- Withstand extreme sunlight
Functionality takes priority over cosmetic shortcuts.
Warranty
Sunvisor offers a lifetime warranty.
This reflects confidence in:
- Material durability
- Structural design
- Long-term UV resistance
Warranty policies vary between brands and are not always lifetime-based.
