Why Tempered Glass breaks Itself?

It is because the glass raw material contains nickel sulfide crystals. This kind of nickel sulfide crystal has two forms: A and B. Under specific time and temperature conditions, form A will change to B. At the same time, the volume of form B is 3-5 times the volume of form A.

So although the volume of this crystal is minimal, if it becomes B-shape, the increase in volume will affect the internal compressive stress balance of the whole glass piece and cause it to break.

Unfortunately, it can’t avoid tempered glass self-exploding entirely under the current technology.

How Tempered Glass is Made?

Tempered glass is a second processed glass from float glass. In the glass factory, we need to cut the large size of float glass to the required tempered glass size first. If the glass piece has a drilling cut opening request, we must perform these processes in this step. After that, we cleaned the glass sheet and sent them to the tempering furnace to heat the glass to the softening point and perform rapid and uniform cooling. Then a tempered glass was made.

Can Tempered Glass Cut You?

Tempered glass can cut you, but just minor cuts; it shouldn’t cause serious injury. It is a type of safety glass. When it breaks, its shatters are tiny particles that cannot easily cause serious harm to the human body.

Can Tempered Glass Withstand Heat?

Tempered glass can withstand temperatures up to 300℃, an instantaneous temperature difference of 200℃.

Can Tempered Glass be Recycled?

Yes, Tempered Glass can be recycled.

Why Use Laminated Glass?

Laminated glass has the following benefits:

It’s a safety glass, which can maintain adhesion even when it’s broken;
It’s impact resistance, and some can resist attacks or earthquakes;
It can block sound waves and create a quiet space;
It blocks UV rays, protects people’s skin, and prevents furniture from fading.

How Long Can Laminate Glass Last?

Depending on different conditions, laminated glass can last up to 20-30 years. If the laminated glass is used on the exterior space with high temperature or rain, it may degum or fade after several years, but it doesn’t affect its safety.

Does Laminated Glass Block UV?

Yes, laminated glass can block UV. The interlayer film of laminated glass can block up to 99% of UV rays.

What is Laminated Glass Used For?

Laminated glass can be used for many exterior and interior glass applications. As it’s a safety glass, it can use in many exterior doors, windows, railings, facades, etc. As there are multiple styles of interlayers, it also has various applications for interior decorations, such as partitions, wall decorations, interior doors, etc.
