Flat tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass that is designed to be stronger and more resistant to external forces than regular glass. This is achieved by creating compressive stress on the surface of the glass using chemical or physical methods.
To make flat tempered glass, the glass is sent to a specialized furnace called a “tempering furnace”. The glass is heated to a temperature between 680-750℃ and then rapidly cooled. This process disrupts the molecular structure of the glass, causing compressive stress to be distributed on the surface while tensile stress is concentrated in the central layer.
The evenly-distributed compressive stress helps the glass withstand external forces such as wind pressure, temperature changes, impacts, and other stresses. If the external force exceeds the internal tension enclosed within the glass, the glass will shatter into many small, blunt particles that do not pose a risk of injury to humans.
Overall, flat tempered glass is a widely-used material thanks to its superior strength and safety features, and its common varieties include clear float tempered glass, ultra clear tempered glass, reflective tempered glass, tinted tempered glass, low-E tempered glass, patterned tempered glass, acid etched tempered glass, silk screen printed tempered glass, etc.
