Electric blackout glass film Design and Operating Guide for Beginners

An Introduction to PDLC Smart Film

Electric blackout glass film, also called liquid crystal film (PDLC) or switchable film is composed of two layers of ITO films and one layer of PDLC.

Weather resistance

Using our exclusive formulation of liquid crystal composite material as well as optical grade flexible conductive films, the smart film has excellent optical, thermal, mechanical properties, and good weather resistance.

Application of electric blackout glass film

• Office partitions • Bathrooms • Conference rooms
• Hospitals / Clinics
• Luxury Villas / Private Room
• Optical blinds
• Security windows
• Roof windows
• Airports • Hotels and Restaurants • Trains and buses

The advantages of smart film

• Unique liquid crystal formula of electric blackout glass film ensures a snug fit. High power-on transparency and high power-off haze to protect your privacy.
• Full specifications: in addition to 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m regular width, the maximum width of 2.2m smart film is also available on request. In addition, we provide milky white, gray and black film colors for your choice.
• Moreover, it brings full coverage of the production process from ITO film to smart film – effectively guarantees product quality and also shortens the delivery cycle.

It is a flexible material that can be bent, allowing for a wide range of uses. Similarly, it is good for large operating temperature range: from -20 70 to 70 ℃. Furthermore, it offers following benefits:

• Low rated voltage and power consumption.
• Strong adhesion for PDLC and long service life.
• Superior manufacturing techniques, strict production and quality control – to ensure consistent quality and product reliability.

Electric blackout glass film Packaging

Package protection:  Smart film has protective films on both sides. Please tear them off before using.

Packing methods: Flat packing or roll packing is optional according to our customers’ needs. Flat Pack – Place the film flat in a wooden box, separating them with white paper and surrounding with foam to buffer. Roll packaging uses plywood cartons and boxes as outer packaging and film rolls on a paper tube with an outer diameter of 15 cm.

Storage conditions

Electric blackout glass film should be stored in a ventilated, dry condition. Temperature should be between -15 ℃ ~ 50 ℃ and relative humidity below 85%. Please keep them away from heat, acidic gases and liquids, organic gases and liquids. Do not wet or place in water.

1. Colorless nail polish.

First, you should prepare the surface of the electric blackout glass film; we should thoroughly and carefully. Then the scratch and the area adjacent to it are treated with an alcohol cleaner or with the addition of ammonia for degreasing.

After drying, a colorless varnish is applicable to a scratch or chip and allowed to dry completely. With a cotton swab moistened with nail polish remover, carefully remove all excess varnish on the glass surface and polish the surface with a soft cloth.

2. Polishing agent for metal surfaces

This method is somewhat more expensive, but much easier to perform. Hence, we should apply a small amount of the product to a soft cloth and polished the scratch area on the glass. After a few wipes, the scratch will not be visible.

3. Toothpaste.

To remove a scratch, take a simple white paste without any additives and effects, the gel is not suitable for this purpose. The paste, the size of a pea, applies to a soft cloth and rubbed into the scratch with gentle circular motions.

How to treat scratched area of electric blackout glass film?

Thus, we can treat the scratched area of electric tinting glass several times, removing the remaining paste with a soft napkin after each procedure. The scratch disappears without a trace.

Toothpaste – it is perfect in cases where the scratch can be seen in the sun, but it cannot be felt with a fingernail. At least it’s much more decent than a gel. It is important that the entire surface is completely cleaned. Moreover, a lint-free fabric is preferable. It is necessary to smear along the entire length of the scratch, and then wipe off what remains.

If the nail gets caught in the groove, you can try toothpaste with dry mustard and vinegar added to it. Polish with a clean cloth. If damage is still noticeable, more professional methods are desirable.

4. Liquid polish for electric tinting glass or furniture polish.

The surface treatment method is slightly different from the previous one. The polish is applied directly to the crack and to a piece of fabric. And all glass is carefully polished.
Heat reduction films are very popular in commercial and residential properties, due to the many benefits they can provide in the environments.

In addition to reducing heat and protecting against harmful health rays, films can also bring privacy, security and savings. If you want to know more about the advantages of solar control films, you can access this other article from our blog.

But when deciding to install solar films, another question arises: Which electric blackout glass film model is the most suitable for my needs? What type of film is good to choose? In this article we want to help you learn more about the different models of solar films.

HOW TO CHOOSE BLACKOUT GLASS FILM?

It all depends on what your needs are at the moment. If the intention is to reduce the temperature and decrease the brightness and natural lighting, the smoked model may be ideal. If the need is to have more privacy, mirror films are the most ideal. Learn more about the main film models:

• Transparent Film: Reduces internal heat and protects against solar radiation without affecting the transparency of the glass.
• Smoked Film: Reduces internal heat and protects against solar radiation. Moreover, it reduces the incidence of light in the environment. It is ideal to solve the problem of excessive lights that hinder the viewing of screens and monitors.
