Glass Processing

TOUGHENED (TEMPERED) GLASS
Toughening process,
 Involves heating and cooling treatment whereby high compressive stresses are set up at the surfaces with balancing tensile stresses in the center.
 Improves the glass strength against impact and thermal stress loads.
 Keeps the original volume, chemical composition, color and clarity of the glass.

Tempered Glass is approximately 5 times stronger than annealed glass against impact. Tempered Glass is appropriate for using as safety glass because it matters into small, blunt edged fragments, which reduce the risk of injury.
