Pioneering Technology of Suspended Particle Devices (SPD - smart glass™)
The glass switches from transparent to colored mode almost instantly (less than one second).

This technology is the result of a decade of development of suspended particle film formulation as well as the film manufacturing technology. This film can be laminated into a wide variety of glass or plastic sheets, creating smart products’ with adjustable levels of transparency.

SPD-SmartGlass is the world's fastest-switching variably tintable dynamic glazing technology. It is the only dimmable window technology that gives users the ability to instantly and precisely control the level of shading to any point between very dark and clear. This provides exceptional control over solar energy while also adding to user comfort and protecting interiors. Available in both glass and lightweight polycarbonate substrates, SPD-Smart TM products – windows, skylights, doors, partitions, sunroofs and more – are laminated glazings that offer a distinctive combination of sustainability and security, can be controlled manually or automatically, and are available in custom sizes and fabrications for new construction, replacement and retrofit projects.
