Glass with compressive stress on the surface, also known Tempered glass. Toughened glass is reinforced by tempering, which began in France in 1874. Tempered glass is actually a kind of pre-stressed glass, in order to improve the strength of the glass, usually using chemical or physical methods, the formation of compressive stress on the surface of the glass, the glass is subjected to external forces to offset the surface stress first, thus improving the load-bearing capacity, and enhance the glass itself, resistance to wind and pressure, heat and cold, impact resistance.
In the realm of furniture design, tempered glass has become synonymous with modernity and elegance. Coffee tables, dining tables, and shelves made from tempered glass add a touch of sophistication to interiors. The material's strength allows for the creation of sleek, minimalist designs without compromising on durability. Tempered glass furniture is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and long-lasting.
-
Safety
When the glass is damaged by external force, the fragments will be broken into small particles with obtuse angles similar to honeycomb, which is not easy to cause serious injury to human body.
-
High Strength
The impact strength of tempered glass of the same thickness is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass, and the bending strength is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass.
-
Thermal stability
Tempered glass has good thermal stability, can withstand the temperature difference is 3 times that of ordinary glass, and can withstand temperature changes of 300 ℃.
In conclusion, the applications of tempered glass extend far beyond its initial use as a safety measure. From automotive advancements to modern architecture and everyday consumer products, tempered glass has become an integral part of our lives. As the demand for this versatile material continues to grow, it is evident that tempered glass will play a vital role in shaping the future of various industries.
