What is Tempered Glass​​​​​​​ Used for?

 Tempered glass (Reinforced glass) is a type of safety glass. Tempered glass is actually a kind of pre-stressed glass, in order to improve the strength of the glass, usually using chemical or physical methods to form compressive stress on the surface of the glass, the glass withstand external forces first offset the surface stress, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity, enhancing the glass itself to resist wind pressure, cold and heat, impact, etc.

 

The advantages of tempered glass

The first is that the strength is increased several times compared with ordinary glass, and it is resistant to bending.

 

Secondly, it is safe to use, and its increased load-bearing capacity improves the fragile nature, even if the tempered glass is broken, it is a small fragment without sharp angles, which greatly reduces the harm to human body. Tempered glass has 3 to 5 times higher resistance to acute cold and heat than ordinary glass, and can generally withstand temperature changes of more than 250 degrees, which has a significant effect on preventing thermal fractures. It is one of the safety glass. It is a kind of safety glass to ensure the safety of qualified materials for high-rise buildings.

 

Tempered Glass

 

Folding safety

When the glass is destroyed by external force, the fragments will become small blunt particles similar to honeycomb, which is not easy to cause harm to human body.

 

Folding high strength

The impact strength of tempered glass of the same thickness is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass, and the bending strength is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass.

 

Folding Thermal Stability

Tempered glass has good thermal stability and can withstand 3 times the temperature difference of ordinary glass.

 

It can withstand a temperature difference change of 200℃.

Uses of Tempered Glass

Flat tempered and curved tempered glass are safety glass. Widely used in high-rise building doors and windows, glass curtain wall, indoor partition glass, lighting roof, sightseeing elevator access, furniture, glass guardrail, etc.

 

Application range of tempered glass

With the constant update of product types and processing technology, the application range of tempered glass has become more and more extensive. Usually tempered glass can be used in the following industries.

 

1. Construction, building template, decoration industry (for example: doors and windows, curtain walls, interior decoration, etc.)

 

2. Furniture manufacturing industry (glass coffee table, furniture matching, etc.)

Furniture Glass

 

3. Fome appliance manufacturing industry (TV sets, ovens, air conditioners, refrigerators and other products)

 

4. Electronics, instrumentation industry (cell phones, MP3, MP4, clocks and watches and other digital products)

 

5. Automobile manufacturing industry (car windshields, etc.)

 

6. Daily-use products industry (glass chopping board, etc.)

 

7. Special industry (military glass)

 

Scope of application of tempered glass

Since tempered glass is broken, the fragments will be broken into small uniform particles and there is no universal glass knife-like sharp angle, which is called safety glass and widely used in cars, interior decoration, as well as high floor windows open to the outside.

Emergency response methods

Safety whack: a kind of auxiliary escape tools in closed compartments. It is generally installed in the closed compartment of the car and other places easy to get, in the event of a fire in the car or car into the water and other emergencies, you can easily remove and smash the glass windows and doors to escape smoothly.

 

Use: Mainly used in emergencies to crack the glass to escape, with a hammer to hit the glass, handle the tail blade used to cut the seat belt to escape.

 

Range: Mainly used for buses, passenger vehicles, trains and other vehicle configurations.

 

Use: The safety hammer is mainly the use of its conical tip, due to the tip of the contact area is very small, so when smashing the glass with a hammer, the contact point on the glass pressure (not pressure, but the pressure per unit area) is quite large, this is somewhat similar to the principle of the nail, the membrane is easy to be pierced, and make the car glass at the point by a large external force and a slight crack, and for tempered glass For tempered glass, a little cracking means that the internal stress distribution of the whole glass is damaged, thus producing numerous spider web cracks in an instant, at this time, as long as a few light smashes with a hammer to remove the glass fragments.

 

In addition, the middle part of the tempered glass is the strongest, the corners and edges are the weakest. The best way is to use a safety hammer to hit the edges and corners of the glass, especially the middle of the edge above the glass, once the glass has cracks, it is easy to smash the whole glass.
