Tempered Glass
|
Tempered glass is five times stronger than annealed glass and resists impact, shock, thermal and mechanical stress. It glass can "flex" or bend significantly without breaking. When a break does occur, tempered glass fragments into small, harmless, rounded pellets. Tempered glass is created by heating annealed glass to near its melting point, rapidly cooling its surface, and allowing the inner core to cool naturally. The glass must be cut to size before the tempering process. Products & Services
