Tempered glass made from float glass via a thermal tempering process. The glass is placed onto a roller table, taking it through a furnace that heats it above its annealing point of about 720 °C. The glass is then rapidly cooled with forced air drafts while the inner portion remains free to flow for a short time. Tempered Glass is a toughened safety glass. It has undergone a special heat treatment to increase its strength and resistance to impact.

It can be devided into flat and curved/bent toughened glass according to its shape.

Advantages

           -High strength. it is approximately 3-5 times more resistant than normal glass. As an example a piece of 8mm toughened glass will be able to withstand a steel ball weighing 300-500gr dropped from a height of 2 meters.

          - Heatstability. It can withstands abrupt temperature change of 220-250 Centigrade, which is 3-5 times more than normal float glass.

           -Safety. If the glass does break, there is far less risk of injury from broken pieces.

Application

           Architectural material, eg. building template, window and door, curtain wall, interior trim, etc.

           Furniture industry, eg. table top, cupboard, etc.

           Bus glasss.

           Household products, for example, chopping board.

           Special industry, such as military glass.
