  1. TEMPERED GLASS

  2. Toughened or tempered glass • Toughened or tempered glass is glass that has been processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass.

  3. Properties Toughened glass • 4-5 times physically stronger and thermally stronger than regular glass. • It will usually shatter into small fragments instead of sharp shards when broken, making it less likely to cause severe injury and deep lacerations.

  4. How is it made? • Tempered glass is made by processes which create balanced internal stresses which give the glass strength. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.

  5. An alternative chemical process involves forcing a surface layer of glass at least 0.1mm thick into compression by ion exchange of the sodium ions in the glass surface with the 30% larger potassium ions, by immersion of the glass into a bath of molten potassium nitrate. Chemical toughening results in increased toughness compared with thermal toughening, and can be applied to glass objects of complex shape.

  6. Use of TEMPERED GLASS Safety approval markings on an automobile vent window made for a Chrysler car by PPG.

  7. Toughened glass is also used in buildings for unframed assemblies (such as frameless doors), structurally-loaded applications, and any other application that would become dangerous in the event of human impact.

  8. As a result of its safety and strength, tempered glass is used in a variety of demanding applications, including passenger vehicle windows, glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, as a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and various types of plates and cookware.

  9. Disadvantages It must be cut to size or pressed to shape before toughening and cannot be re-worked once toughened. Polishing the edges or drilling holes in the glass is carried out before the toughening process starts.

  10. The glass is most susceptible to breakage due to damage to the edge of the glass where the tensile stress is the greatest, but shattering can also occur in the event of a hard impact in the middle of the glass pane or if the impact is concentrated (for example, striking the glass with a point).
