8mm Toughened Glass /Tempered Glass for Building

Toughened Glass /Tempered Glass, is made by heating flat glass to just below its softening temperature and suddenly chilling it with jets of cold air. It results in the outer skins under powerful compressive stress and the interior with severe tensile stress. In consequence, the impact applied to the glass will be overcome by the compressional stress on the surfaces to assure safety of use.

Features:

1) 5 times harder than ordinary float glass.
2) Once breakage occurs, the glass disintegrates into small cubical fragments, which are relatively harmless to human body.
3) It withstands abrupt temperature change of 220 Centigrade.
4) Sizes are produced as per customer request. Once tempered, can not be cut down.
5) Tempered glass is produced by heating annealed glass in a furnace to 620 Centigrade. Progressing from the furnace, the glass is rapidly cooled with jets of cold air, inducing compressive stresses to the surface while the center remains tensile.
6) Conforms to American Standards ASTM C1048. All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering.

Applications
1. External use of windows, doors, shopfronts in offices, houses, shops etc.
2. Interior, glass screens, partitions, balustrades etc.
3. Shop display windows, showcases, display shelves etc.
4. Furniture, table-tops, picture frames etc.
