screen protection film manufacturer
(OP)
I'm looking for a source for a adhesive protective film similar to the screen protector material used on cell phones. An ideal solution would be a gray tinted hardcoat PET film with and a silicone adhesive that would allow it to be installed easily without bubbles and removed if damaged without leaving residue. Our application is to apply a gray tinted film with hardcoating to the exterior of a polycarbonate lens to block heat generation in a product when used in direct sunlight. We're looking for approx 50-60% light transmission and as much IR blocking as possible.
Any help on a source for raw material would be appreciated.

Also try CS Hyde as they make lots of films and adhesive tapes based on many polymers.
To block IR tin oxide coating is commonly used. For example it's used on domestic oven doors to reflect the heat back inside. Other materials work too.
You need to reflect the IR and not absorb it. If you absorb it then that process will heat your film which is what you're trying to avoid.
