Tempered glass is often referred as "safety glass" It’s more resistant to breakage than normal float glass. Even if it is broken, it usually breaks into relatively small particles, which are less likely to cause injury.

Tempered glass is made by heating Float Glass to its softening temperature and suddenly chilling it with jets of cold air, which distributes compression stress on the glass surfaces while tensile stress in the middle of glass. The counteraction of compression stress and tensile stress provides a very higher strength for tempered glass.

Properties:

• Mechanical strength: it has  4-5 times more strength than ordinary annealed glass.
• Suitable for use as safety glass: when breakage occurs, the tempered glass  disintegrates into countless small obtuse fragments, which reduces chance to hurt any one.
• It can withstand a very wide range of rapid temperature changes with the endurance of 200-300 degree.
