SPD emulsions combine special polymers, particles and other chemicals in a form that can be coated into a high-performance light-control film used in windows and many other products. The new license permits DIC to now produce and sell SPD-Smart light-control film. DIC also plans to expand production capacity from current levels.
SPD light-control film has wide applicability in a variety of SPD-Smart products, including architectural, automotive, aircraft and marine windows, as well as in instantly adjustable variable-tint eyewear. SPD light-control technology can be used on flat or curved glass or plastic surfaces, and is the world's only light-control technology to combine fast switching speed, optical clarity over a wide range of light transmission and uniform switching over large surface areas.
