The Difference Between Tempered And Ordinary Glass

Tempered Glass is a special glass whose strength and impact resistance are enhanced by heat treatment technology, and has a wide range of applications. The manufacturing process of tempered glass involves heat treatment technology, usually by heating ordinary glass to a high temperature (about 600 degrees Celsius) and then cooling it rapidly. This rapid cooling process will cause compressive stress on the surface of the glass and tensile stress inside, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the glass.Tempered glass is widely used in many fields because of its special properties, and it is still very different from ordinary glass.

Tempered glass is stronger than ordinary glass. Due to the compressive stress and tensile stress formed in the tempering process, tempered glass has higher bending and impact resistance, and it can withstand greater external pressure and impact without breaking easily. Tempered glass forms small, sharp-edged shards when broken, while ordinary glass forms sharp and large shards. This means that tempered glass is less of a threat to personal safety if it shatters, reducing the risk of cuts and punctures. Tempered glass has better thermal stability than ordinary glass, it can better withstand temperature changes and thermal stress, reducing the risk of cracking due to temperature differences.

In general, the advantages of tempered glass include high strength, safety, thermal stability, wind pressure resistance and scratch resistance. Therefore, in some specific application scenarios, such as anti-fall safety glass or glass that requires protective properties In places such as prisons, mental institutions, etc., other types of safety glass (such as laminated glass) may be more suitable.Tempered glass is also widely used in furniture manufacturing. It can be used on furniture components such as coffee tables, dining tables, cabinet doors, glass shelves, etc., providing a solid surface and impact resistance. For example, Refrigerator Glass and Microwave Door Glass often appear in home furniture.
