Tempered glass is made by heating flat glass to just below its softening temperature and suddenly chilling it with jets of cold air.It results the outer skins under powerful compressive stress and the interior with severe tensile stress.In consequence,the impact applied to the glass will be overcome by the compressional stress on the surface to assure safety of use.
Benefits:
●No tong marks on the glass as TG adopts the horizontal tempering process.
●5times stronger than annealed glass.
●Once breakage occurs,the glass disinegrates into small cubical fragments which are relatively harmless to human body.
●It withstands abrupt change of temperature.For example,a piece of 5mm tolerates the temperature
Variations within the range of 200oC.
●Tempered glass should undergo heat soak test to improve safety in use.
Applications:
Automobile,train,vessel,architecture,furnlture,automatic,door,escalator,fireplace,etc.
