Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the inner surfaces into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (aka: annealed glass) creates. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.
As a result of its safety and strength, tempered or toughened glass is used in a variety of demanding applications, including passenger vehicle windows, shower doors, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, mobile screen protectors, as a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and various types of plates and cookware.
ADVANTAGES:
1. The anti impacting performance and anti-bending performance are 3-5 times higher than ordinary glass.
2. It breaks into granules in case of strongly knocked, so no hurt would be caused.
3. deflection angle of tempered glass is 3-4 times larger than that of float glass of the same thickness. When there is load on tempered glass, its maximum tensile stress does not located on the glass surface as float glass, but on the central point of glass sheet.
● Scope of application
◆Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass and widely used in places where have higher requirements for mechanical strength and safety, such as shower room, glass door, curtain wall, facade window, indoor partition, furniture, partition which is close to heat source or suffers more strong cold and hot shock.
