Tempered Glass is a safety annealed glass, produced by heating glass in a tempering furnace to the softening point of 620ºC and then quickly cooling it with cold air. This technique resists compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress inside, providing superior bending and shock resistance.
Property
High strength, heat-resistance, and high security.
Function
1. Withstands large temperature differences. 2. Ensures maximum safety by breaking into obtuse-angled fragments.
Thickness
3mm to 19mm
Shape
Flat, bending, and customized formats.
Packing
Fresh paper interleaved, standard seaworthy wooden crates.
When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, relatively harmless granular chunks rather than jagged shards, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
2. How much stronger is tempered glass compared to regular glass?
Tempered glass is approximately 4 to 5 times stronger than standard annealed glass of the same thickness.
3. Can tempered glass be cut to size after it has been treated?
No, all cutting, grinding, or drilling must be completed before the tempering process. Any attempt to cut it afterward will cause the entire pane to shatter.
4. What temperature range can this glass withstand?
It is highly heat-resistant and can withstand significant temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for home appliances and building facades.
5. What are the common thickness options available?
We provide a wide range of thicknesses from 3mm up to 19mm, depending on the specific application requirements.
6. Is the glass suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is widely used for curtain walls, windows, and outdoor furniture due to its durability and resistance to environmental stress.
