1、 Thermochromic glass: What is color changing glass?

 Color changing glass refers to glass that undergoes color changes under certain conditions such as light, temperature, electric field, current, and surface pressure, and changes with the conditions. It reversibly and automatically returns to its initial state when no conditions are applied, also known as dimming glass. Color changing glass changes its transmission characteristics according to changes in the external environment, achieving effective control of solar radiation energy and achieving the goal of energy conservation. The mechanism of color change caused by glass properties is mainly divided into photochromic glass, electrochromic glass, and photochromic glass. Especially receiving attention from professionals in the curtain wall industry.

 2、 Thermochromic glass: Advantages of chromic glass:

(1) Colorful glass can automatically control the sunlight entering the room, improve natural lighting, and control indoor temperature.

(2)Due to the installation of color changing glass, the outside can be seen indoors, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside, which has a high level of privacy.

(3) It is an artificial inorganic fiber made from chemical raw materials such as soda ash and sandblasting. It has pores on the surface and is a porous material with good heat and sound absorption properties;

(4)Color changing glass can change color due to temperature. During the day, the glass turns black and blocks too much ultraviolet radiation. At night or in dark weather, the glass remains colorless and normal lighting is restored.

 3、 Thermochromic glass: Disadvantages of chromic glass:

Due to its high cost, this glass is rarely used in real estate projects, with more commonly used being color changing sunglasses and the classification of photochromic glass. 

 4、 Thermochromic glass: Classification of chromic glass

       (1) Colored glass is made by adding photosensitizers to ordinary glass. Ordinary glasses include aluminoborosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, etc. Photosensitizers include silver halide, etc.

       (2) Uniformly disperse the photosensitizer in the glass, which is colorless and transparent under normal conditions. However, ultraviolet or visible light irradiation can cause a decrease in the transparency or discoloration of the glass, and automatically restore the original transparent state after light stops. In addition, the color changing glass can undergo multiple color changing and fading processes, and its performance is non-destructive.
