Architectural Applications: Smart Glass for Commercial Buildings & Facades
Safe switchable glass is an advanced photoelectric smart glass, manufactured by laminating a PDLC film between two layers of glass and bonding them into a single integrated unit under high temperature and high pressure. The outdoor glass curtain wall adopts double-glazed insulating switchable glass, combining dynamic transparency control with the superior structural performance and energy efficiency of insulated glazing. It is widely used in building façades, sunrooms, windows, and curtain wall systems, enabling flexible and efficient daylight management.
Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection
Our architectural smart film products can block up to 99.9% of ultraviolet rays and up to 80% of infrared rays. The technology has obtained a national patent for heat-insulating and UV-resistant smart film.
- Thermal Control: The switchable glass effectively blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays and a significant portion of infrared heat, reducing indoor heat gain and improving overall energy efficiency.
- Sound Insulation: Compared with ordinary glass, the application of smart film can effectively enhance the sound insulation performance of glass while significantly reducing noise transmission and impact.
- Energy Efficiency: Its excellent sound insulation and thermal insulation performance surpass that of conventional transparent building materials, enhancing indoor comfort while lowering air conditioning energy consumption.
- Eco-Friendly Operations: Installing smart film can reduce the usage and waste of decorative materials and other applications, thereby minimizing environmental pollution and supporting environmental protection. It features low power consumption and energy efficiency during daily use.
Explosion-Proof & Bullet-Resistant Safety Standards
We are fully committed to product safety. Safe switchable glass is made using high-quality PDLC smart film independently produced by our company, combined with premium-grade safety glass substrates.
- Explosion-Proof Technology: The smart film adopts a composite adhesive layer with inherent bonding strength. Even if the glass is broken, it effectively prevents glass fragments from scattering, providing an explosion-proof safety function. This technology has been granted a national patent.
- Strict Process Control: From PDLC smart film production to finished switchable glass, the entire manufacturing process includes 120 production steps and 20 inspection stages. Precision quality control is implemented throughout, along with a dual-layer high-pressure lamination process to ensure exceptional stability and consistency.
- Bullet-Resistant Certification: Through persistent R&D efforts, our 10–15mm-thick switchable glass has been recognized by China South Industries Group Corporation and the China National Armament Equipment Special Products Intelligent Supervision and Inspection Center.

Projecting images onto Changxin smart film enables barrier-free viewing of video content and seamless, obstruction-free advertising display.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does smart glass shatter if broken?
No, the smart film adopts a composite adhesive layer with inherent bonding strength, which effectively prevents glass fragments from scattering, providing an explosion-proof safety function. A specially developed high-adhesion, high-transmittance interlayer film is applied to ensure strong bonding and completely prevent injury caused by glass fragmentation.
Can it be used for exterior sunrooms and curtain walls?
Yes, the outdoor glass curtain wall adopts double-glazed insulating switchable glass, combining dynamic transparency control with the superior structural performance and energy efficiency of insulated glazing.
