What is the tempered glass?
Tempered Glass is one of the two types of security glass regularly used in applications where standard glass could pose a potential danger. Hard glass is four to five times thicker than standard glass and if it fails, it does not break into sharp shards. Hard glass is produced by the process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it heavier than normal glass.
The fragile nature of the tempered glass causes it to break into small oval pebbles. This eliminates the danger of sharp edges. Thanks to this feature, tempered glass is often referred to as safety glass.
The thermal process that treats tempered glass is also heat resistant. Hard glass is used to make decanters in automatic coffee machines and windows in furnaces. Computer screens, skylights, door windows, bathtub covers and shower doors are more examples of places where you will find tempered glass. Building regulations also require Windomno's public structures to be made of temperathe glass. The windshield is made of laminated glass that sandwiches between two glass panels. When the windshield breaks, the glass panels stick to the plastic film than to fall to the driver or other passengers.
Tempered Glass breaks in a unique way. If any part of the glass fails, the whole panel breaks at the same time. This distinguishes it from normal glass that could experience a small crack or localized breakage from the isolated impact. Hard glass can also fail long after an event that caused failure. The tension continues to play until the defect is formed, which triggers breaking the entire panel.
In recent years, the acrylic has been replaced by tempered temperament in many applications in which the heat is not a factor. Acrylic is a more resistant impact than glass and does not break like tempered glass. Instead, acrylic extension if the impact is strong enough.If the force is sufficient to make acrylic fail, it bursts without breaking.
Acrylic is also half the weight of glass and has many other advantages. However, it is flammable. Therefore, you will not find acrylic coffee or oven door.
