Tempered glass is one of two kinds of safety glass regularly used in applications in which standard glass
could pose a potential danger. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and
does not break into sharp shards when it fails.
extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.
The brittle nature of tempered glass causes it to shatter into small ovalshaped pebbles when broken.
This eliminates the danger of sharp edges. Due to this property, along with its strength, tempered
glass is often referred to as safety glass.
The thermal process that cures tempered glass also makes it heat resistant. Tempered glass is used
to make the carafes in automatic coffee makers and the windows in ovens. Computer screens, skylights,
door windows, tub enclosures and shower doors are more examples of places you will find tempered
glass. Building codes also require the windows of many public structures to be made of tempered glass.
Automobiles use a different type of safety glass for the windshield and tempered glass for the back
and side windows. Windshields are made from laminated glass, which sandwiches a sheet of plastic
between two panels of glass. When the windshield breaks, the glass panels stick to the plastic film,
rather than falling away to possibly injure the driver or other passengers.
Tempered glass breaks in a unique way. If any part of the glass fails, the entire panel shatters
at once. This distinguishes it from normal glass, which might experience a small crack or localized
breakage from an isolated impact. Tempered glass might also fail long after the event that caused
the failure. Stresses continue to play until the defect erupts, triggering breakage of the entire panel.
