What Is Smart Tint® Switchable Film?

Smart Tint® is a PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) film that applies to any new or existing smooth glass surface, instantly creating smart glass. When powered on, liquid crystals align to make the glass completely clear and transparent. When power is off, the crystals scatter light to create a frosted, opaque appearance that provides complete privacy.

Unlike electrochromic glass that requires full window replacement at significant cost, Smart Tint® film applies to your existing glass at a fraction of the price. The proprietary Smart Cling® self-adhesive backing makes professional installation clean and efficient—no messy adhesives, no glass replacement needed.

Smart Tint® is the only switchable film manufacturer in North America that is ETL-certified, meaning every product meets rigorous UL safety and quality standards. With millions of square feet manufactured and installed worldwide since 1999, Smart Tint® is the most trusted name in switchable privacy glass technology.
