Tempered Glass is Necessary for Our Society

Features of tempered glass

Nowadays, tempered glass plays an important role in our life and we have to be familiar with this glass. We heat the float glass nearly to the softening point, and cool the surface down immediately to make the compression force distribute the surface of glass and leave the gravitation on the center to make sure the safety of glass.

1. Increasing strength: the tempered glass whose mechanical strength, impact resistance, bending strength are 4-5 times stronger than the ordinary one.

2. The improvement of heat stability: tempered glass panels can bear huge difference in temperature without damaging, and the ability to resist the variation of temperature is 3 times as the ordinary one.

3. The promotion of safety: When the tempered glass is damaged, it will soon appear some obtuse grain in order to keep people's safety. It can be used in furniture, electronics industry, building, decoration industry, automobile, staircase and other industries.

Disadvantages of tempered glass

1.The tempered glass cannot be cut or processed again, it must be processed before tempering.

2.Although tempered glass is stronger than the ordinary one, in the great variation of temperature, spontaneous explosion may occur in the tempered glass.

3.There exists phenomenon of uneven in the tempered glass. This is the reason why the tempered glass cannot be made into mirror.

Classification of tempered glass

With the development of products'kinds and process technology, it is widely used in all kinds of industry and its sorts also become more and more diversified. It can be used in the produce of TV, digital products, glass cutting board, interior decoration, auto windshield and so on. And according to its shape, it can be divided into curved tempered glass and plane tempered glass. There are 12 kinds of thickness: 3.4, 4.5, 5.5, 7.6, 9.2, 11, 15, 19mm, and the accurate thickness should depend on each factory's equipments and technologies. Meanwhile, curved tempered glass has its own curve limitation that is radius. Besides, according to its evenness, we can divide tempered glass into high-class product and qualified product. In general, high-class tempered glass is used in auto windshield, and the qualified tempered glass is used in building and decoration.
