How the Tempered Glass Produced to Be Safety Glass Do Harmless to People

Toughened Safety Glass is fabricated by heating annealed glass to over 600°C and cooling it rapidly, which locks the outer surfaces of the glass in a state of high compression, and the core or center of the glass in compensating tension. It is a safety glass which is used when strength, thermal resistance and safety are important considerations.

Characteristic

• In the event of breakage the particles are small and are relatively harmless compared with the sharp splinters resulting from the breakage of annealed glass.

• The toughening process also greatly reduces the risk of thermal breakage.

• Up to five times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness, making it an ideal safety or security glass.

• Conforms to the requirements of BS6206:1981 Class A as well as European Standard BS EN 12150.

• Available in Clear, Tinted, Reflective, Low Iron, Etched, Textured, Colorsmart, Thermo colour and Low E glass types.

• All work done on Toughened glass （beveling, cutting, drilling, etc.) must be done before tempering.

• Allows architects and builders far greater scope in their use of glass in buildings.
