Tempered Glass

Tempered glass is obtained by glass being heated to a temperature of 600 ° C - 650 º C and then rapidly cooled to a temperature of 200 º C - 320 º C. Tempered glass is a glass of high security. It is resistant to shock, high temperature and heavy load. It dissipates in the smallest pieces (over 50 pieces of 5 cm ²). Tempered glass is 4-5 times more resistant to impact than ordinary (Flot) glass, the minimum allowable pressure is 120 N / mm ² and the pressure of breaking 165N/mm ². Ordinary glass breaks at a pressure of 40N/mm ².

Tempered glass has an increased resistance to changes in temperature (T = 150 ° K). The glass that is tempered can not be subsequently processed, punctured or cut. Therefore it is necessary to do all the necessary processing before approaching to the process of tempering glass.
