Smart Glass
Coating Equipment for Switchable Glazing

As a manufacturer or coater of switchable glass, you need coating equipment that is adapted to your process. This also applies to processes with heated substrates. Here, it comes down to the best technical solution to ensure a consistent process with low energy requirements.

We offer coating systems tailored to your needs, with which you can apply transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coatings. An example of such coatings is indium tin oxide (ITO), which enables dynamic switching of an applied electrical voltage.

What do we mean by smart glass?

In­creas­ing­ly, coat­ing so­lu­tions that en­able dy­nam­ic chang­es in the prop­er­ties of glaz­ing are gain­ing trac­tion. We call this class of glass prod­ucts “smart glass.”

Such ap­pli­ca­tions in­clude switch­a­ble pri­va­cy glass that can be switched from trans­par­ent to opaque on de­mand. An­oth­er ap­pli­ca­tion is elec­tro­chrom­ic glass, which pro­vides adap­tive sun and heat pro­tec­tion or is fa­mil­iar to us all as a dim­ma­ble car rear­view mir­ror.
