The Real Story Behind Smart Film And Smart Glass

While switchable glass and film are innovative products, there are several crucial things to bear in mind before making a purchase. Find out what the makers might not tell you and how to steer clear of subpar goods.

Selecting Between Dimming Smart Glass Film And Smart Glass

A major development in glass technology that hasn't been seen in more than a century is switchable glass. With a simple flick of a button, smart glass and film may change from clear to frosted. Currently available glass may be upgraded to smart glass by adding smart film or having built-in privacy features. Prior to making an investment in smart glass or film, there are crucial aspects to take into account, even with the seemingly magical appeal of switchable glass technology.

Haze

A minor haziness may occur when switching from privacy glass to transparent because PDLC crystals reflect light. The switchable qualities of the glass make this inevitable. While it seems crystal clear in normal daylight, the haziness is most visible under artificial or uneven lighting.

Fortunately, there are ways to make this haze less visible. A higher-end product will reduce this haze. Items from TAIZHOU have the lowest possible haze rating of less than 4%.Because of their low cost and irregularly scattered crystals, inferior PDLC films could have greater haze. Any noticeable haze can be lessened by adjusting the lighting.

Is Smart Film More Susceptible To Damage?

It is not advisable to use smart film outdoors, in wet regions, or in public areas where vandalism is frequent. Despite being constructed using premium materials, it is still an electrical instrument that is susceptible to harm from prolonged wetness. Conversely, privacy film may be used indoors in locations that are prone to moisture and is washable with liquids as long as the borders are shielded from harm with silicon.

Since the busbar region is where the wires are joined, it is the most delicate area of the film. If damaged, the film won't change from clear to frosted. You must thus handle this region carefully and with particular caution.

Use a protective liner to shield your privacy film from scratches from dogs, cats, and young children if you are installing it on a window or door that they will frequently touch.

Purchasing smart glass is recommended for regions with high traffic, public spaces, and glass surfaces that face external views. Protective PDLC film is sandwiched between tempered and laminated safety glass in smart glass.

Discoloration

When exposed to UV radiation, some privacy films may progressively change color and take on a yellow tinge. On the other hand, high-quality window films won't become yellow over time from exposure to the sun.

Delamination

Weak peeling strength can be a contributing factor in delamination of low-quality smart film. Superior films, on the other hand, include a strong PDLC adhesive that maintains the layers' link throughout storage, leaving no room for separation.

Delamination is a potential problem that might occur when smart film is being installed. Avoiding typical mistakes like clipping the film with a dull blade is crucial to preventing this. To ensure a successful installation of smart films, we provide comprehensive installation directions.
