Tempered Glass
Tempered glass or toughened glass (high-strength glass) is made of high-quality float glass that is heated and processed by thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength as compared to normal glass.
Features:
- When broken, tempered glass is to crumble into small chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards which is relatively harmless.
- Comparing to float or annealed glass, the impact resistance is 3-5 times.
- Tempered glass is used in those environments where human safety is prioritized.
