In a field where precision, sterility, and confidentiality are non-negotiable, West Pharmaceutical Services sought an innovative solution to elevate their facility design without compromising hygiene or operational efficiency. Recognizing the need for flexible privacy and a more seamless environment, they turned to PriWatt® switchable glass technology.
This smart glass solution offered the perfect combination of transparency and privacy—instantly transforming from clear to opaque at the touch of a button. It enabled open visibility during routine workflows and complete discretion during confidential procedures or meetings, all without the need for blinds, curtains, or other high-maintenance barriers.
More than just a visual enhancement, PriWatt® played a key role in supporting West Pharmaceutical’s infection control protocols. The smooth, non-porous surface of the switchable glass made it exceptionally easy to disinfect, aligning perfectly with the strict sanitation demands of cleanrooms and lab environments.
It also allowed staff to monitor critical zones from outside, reducing unnecessary foot traffic and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. The result was a safer, more efficient layout that improved oversight while protecting the integrity of sterile spaces.
The solution didn’t stop at hygiene. With built-in UV and infrared blocking capabilities, PriWatt® glass contributed to a more energy-efficient environment—helping maintain stable internal temperatures while reducing load on HVAC systems.
By adopting PriWatt® switchable glass, West Pharmaceutical Services took a significant step forward in designing a pharmaceutical workspace that’s not only smarter and safer, but also more adaptive to the evolving needs of modern healthcare manufacturing.
