The impact and bending strength of tempered glass is 3-5 times that of ordinary glass. It can withstand higher pressure and impact. Even if tempered glassis broken, it will not produce sharp fragments, but will form a honeycomb-like structure. The obtuse-angled small particles greatly reduce the risk of harm to the human body. click to figure out why tempered glass breaks.

After tempered glass is broken, the fragments will turn into small particles without sharp angles, which are less likely to cause serious harm to the human body, so it is called "safety glass".

Tempered glass has good thermal stability, can withstand temperature changes of about 200-300°C, and is not prone to bursting due to sudden temperature changes. Ordinary glass has poor thermal stability and is prone to bursting when encountering sudden changes in temperature.

 

-‌-4. Application scenarios‌:

Tempered glass is suitable for occasions with high safety and strength requirements, such as doors and windows in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals and other public places, ground overpasses, shower room partitions, car windows, household appliances, kitchen appliances, electronics, household and office furnitures etc. Ordinary glass is suitable for occasions that do not require high safety and strength, such as single-layer windows in ordinary residences, office partitions, etc.

 

 

 

 

-‌-5. Possibility for further processing:

Ordinary glass can be cut and processed as needed, which is relatively flexible. Tempered glass cannot be cut and processed again after tempering. Tempered Glass can only be processed to the required shape before tempering‌
