Elektrochrome Beschichtungen

Electrochromic Coatings – Solar Control Glazing of a New Generation Since the early sixties of the 20th century the permanent expanded quantities and qualitative requirements for coatings on architectural glass have pushed the development of the processing technology. Today the magnetron‐sputter technology is the standard for coating of broadsheet architectural‐ and car glass. It provides a huge range of variation in case of processing parameters and it is therefore best suited to realize the next generation of architectural glazing based on electrochromic coatings. The history and background information's to the requirements of coating technology will be discussed. Finally there are two examples for switchable solar control glazing in a building.
