What is the difference between tempered glass and semi- tempered glass



People who are more concerned about glass may often hear tempered glass and tempered glass, but they always think that this is a kind of glass. 


In fact, these two types of glass are completely different. Not only are the prices different, but the properties are also Not the same. Next, I will take you to understand the difference between tempered glass and tempered glass.


Tempered glass, also known as semi-tempered glass, is a kind between ordinary glass and toughened glass. The strength is lower than tempered glass but higher than ordinary glass. And because there are still sharp fragments that hurt people when broken, so it is not a safety glass. Its surface pressure is between 25Mpa and 52Mpa. Everyone must ask clearly when choosing whether it is tempered glass or semi-tempered glass.


The toughened glass has been strengthened and has good mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. General tempered glass refers to flat glass products that have undergone wind quenching treatment, which has strong bending strength, impact resistance, and resist thermal shock. In addition, the broken glass becomes blunt small particles, which are not easy to hurt people. However, the toughened glass cannot be processed by mechanical cutting, drilling, etc.


Tempered glass is a kind of prestressed glass that uses chemical methods to form compressive stress on the glass surface. When the glass is subjected to external forces, the stress of the outer layer is first offset, thereby increasing the bearing capacity. The bending strength of tempered glass is ordinary


The impact strength is 3-5 times that of glass, and the impact strength is 5-10 times that of ordinary glass, which improves the strength and safety at the same time. Tempered glass is good, but because the special principality is used in the tempering process, the flatness of the random surface will be affected. Slightly worse than ordinary glass and tempered glass.


Generally speaking, tempered glass is better than semi-tempered glass. Generally, the daily use of tempered glass at home is basically tempered glass. You can choose according to your needs.
