LAMINATED SMART FILM

TECHNOLOGY

Laminated PDLC Smart Film is a versatile material employed by glass laminators to create innovative smart glass solutions. This specialized film, comprised of a liquid crystal polymer layer sandwiched between two conductive layers, offers exceptional transparency and the ability to control light transmission. When combined with EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) glue, laminated PDLC smart film is used to produce triplex smart glass. The resulting triplex smart glass can be electronically controlled to switch between transparent and opaque states, providing privacy benefit in various applications mainly in architectural windows.

What Smart Film formats are available?
The available formats are either cut-to-size, ready for lamination, or standard rolls with the following available widths:
1 meter (app. 39")
1.2 meters (app. 47")
1.5 meters (app. 59")
1.8 meters (app. 71")
2 meters (app. 79")
Please contact us for specific roll widths available for your project or to inquire about custom sizes.
What material is used as an interlayer film in laminated smart glass?
The recommended interlayer for the smart film lamination process is ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which offers excellent adhesion and durability, ensuring a stable and long-lasting lamination.
What is the recommended lamination profile of smart film?
Laminating smart film requires the use of a vacuum bag and an oven. The entire lamination process takes approximately 3.5 hours, with the following conditions:
Temperature Range: 65 to 120°C (149 to 248°F)
Pressure Range: 50 to 200 kPa (7.25 to 29 psi)
For a detailed lamination process, please contact us.
What are the most important points when laminating smart film?
The most important points when laminating smart film are: Uniform Heating: Ensure uniform heating to prevent thermal gradients that can cause stress and potential defects in the laminated glass. Air Removal: Properly remove air bubbles during the pre-pressing stage to avoid delamination or visual defects. Cooling: Controlled cooling is crucial to prevent thermal shock and ensure the longevity of the laminated smart glass. By following these guidelines, you can achieve high-quality lamination of smart switchable films within the glass, ensuring durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
How do I cut smart film and apply copper tape for lamination?
The preparation of smart film for lamination includes cutting the film to the desired size with a trimming table, exposing the conductive layers, applying silver paste and copper tape, and finally soldering wires to the copper tape.
