Photochromic glass is a type of glass that changes color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. It is a type of smart glass that can be used in a variety of applications, such as windows, skylights, and eyeglasses. The glass is composed of molecules that react to UV light, causing the glass to darken. When the UV light is removed, the molecules return to their original state, causing the glass to lighten. Photochromic glass has several advantages over traditional glass. It can reduce the amount of heat and light that enters a building, helping to reduce energy costs. It also provides privacy and security, as the glass can be darkened to obscure the view from outside. Additionally, it can be used to reduce glare and improve visibility. The photochromic glass market is growing as more applications are developed for the technology. It is becoming increasingly popular in the construction and automotive industries, as well as in the eyewear industry. Some companies in the photochromic glass market include Corning, PPG Industries, Saint-Gobain, and Essilor. Show Less Read more
