Research Frontiers Inc. (Nasdaq: REFR) and Gauzy Ltd., a
world-leading vendor of material science and light control
technologies, announced today that Gauzy will be exhibiting
SPD-Smart light control film at this week’s Glasstec 2018
Exhibition. Glasstec is the industry's leading international glass
exhibition, highlighting the most innovative developments in glass
technology, processing, and production. The four-day exhibition
will take place in Dusseldorf, Germany, on October 23 – 26 at the
Dusseldorf Fair Grounds.
Gauzy will be exhibiting in Hall 11, booth
number A41 in their largest booth ever at Glasstec. With over ten
team members present, including the CEO, CTO, VP of Sales, and
global sales managers, the company will be showcasing Gauzy SPD for
architectural and automotive applications. Gauzy’s first-class,
outdoor grade SPD technology allows dynamic light and energy
control in transparent substrates. The company will also be
presenting its Liquid Crystal based technologies, and offering
special show only promotions on all products, for new and existing
partners. All glass professionals, automotive OEMs, architects,
interior designers, and industry professionals are invited to visit
Gauzy’s booth (11A41).
Gauzy Ltd. is a licensee of Research Frontiers,
the inventor of patented SPD-SmartGlass technology. The company is
licensed to develop and manufacture SPD-Smart light control
emulsion and film, as well as make SPD-Smart end products for
various industries. Last month, Gauzy led a group that invested $2
million in Research Frontiers. Earlier this month, RFI and Gauzy
announced the inauguration of their SPD film production line at a
ribbon cutting ceremony at their factory in Tel Aviv-Yafo. This
production line has the capacity to produce over 365 thousand
square meters of SPD light-control film per year per shift. Gauzy
plans to introduce SPD film this year in 1.2 meter widths which
will be the widest SPD film offered in the industry. Gauzy’s plans
call for the introduction of SPD film 1.5 meters wide next year and
1.8 meters wide the following year. Gauzy currently produces PDLC
film in 1.8 meter wide rolls.
The markets for SPD-Smart film are already
well-established. Research Frontiers has licensed over 40 chemical,
film, and glass companies which are selling products for the
automotive, aircraft, marine, train, museum and consumer
electronics industries. Gauzy’s established and growing network of
over 55 glass fabricators worldwide brings additional synergies,
infrastructure, and growth opportunities to the smart glass
industry.
Research Frontiers patented SPD-SmartGlass
technology is the same best-selling smart window technology that
can be found on various car models from Daimler. The MAGIC SKY
CONTROL feature, which is now in use on tens of thousands of
Mercedes-Benz SLs, SLC/SLKs, Maybach and S-Class models around the
world, uses patented SPD-SmartGlass technology developed by
Research Frontiers to turn the roof transparent by electrically
aligning tiny particles in a thin film within the glass. With the
touch of a button, drivers and passengers can instantly change the
tint of their roof to help keep out harsh sunlight and heat, and
create an open-air feeling even when the sunroof is closed. Glass
or plastic using Research Frontiers’ patented SPD-SmartGlass
technology effectively blocks UV and infrared rays in both clear
and darkly tinted modes, helping keep the cabin cooler, and
protecting passengers and interiors while also enhancing security
inside the vehicle. These benefits become even more important when
a car uses large surface areas of glass, especially in warm
climates.
Some of the other benefits of SPD-SmartGlass
include significant heat reduction inside the vehicle (by up to
18ºF/10ºC), UV protection, glare control, reduced noise and reduced
fuel consumption. Independent calculations also show that use of
SPD-SmartGlass can reduce CO2 emissions by four grams per
kilometer, and increase the driving range of electric vehicles by
approximately 5.5 percent.
