Tempered glass is a type of glass in contrast to ordinary glass. During the glass production process, physical and chemical methods are used to heat and cool the glass, thereby creating compressive stress on its surface. When the glass is subjected to external pressure, the compressive stress on its surface counteracts the external pressure, enhancing the glass's bending and impact resistance, and improving its performance. It is a kind of prestressed glass, which is processed on the basis of ordinary glass to form a pre-pointed force glass with high performance.
The differences in products from tempered glass manufacturers
1.Tempered glass has a high impact strength, which is 4 to 5 times that of ordinary glass. Its bending resistance is 5 times that of ordinary glass, and its tensile strength is more than 3 times that of ordinary glass.
2.Tempered glass also features thermal stability, smoothness, transparency and cuttability. It is not easy to break when subjected to strong impact. Even if it breaks, it will present itself in the form of fine and dispersed particles without sharp corners, greatly reducing the harm to the human body. Therefore, it is also called glass. However, the sharp corners of ordinary glass when it breaks can easily cause personal injury to children and those who hit it. Observing the shape of the broken glass is a major difference between the two.
Tempered glass is glass that has undergone heat treatment. Its characteristic is that a compressive stress layer is formed on the surface of the glass, which enhances its mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance, and it also has a special fragmented state.
The load-bearing capacity of tempered glass is approximately five times that of ordinary glass, but like other types of glass, it will break when subjected to external forces such as impact or scratches. The edges of tempered glass are the parts that are more sensitive to external forces and relatively weak. When tempered glass breaks, it will make a loud noise and the fragments will scatter in all directions in granular form. The fragments of tempered glass will not have obvious sharp corners. Ordinary glass, when broken, will form sharp fragments and may cause serious injuries.
