Toughened Glass Windows & Plates

Fully thermally tempered toughened glass is approximately four times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness and configuration. When broken, it will break into many small fragments, which are less likely to cause serious injury. The typical process to produce tempered/toughened glass involves heating the glass to over 600 °C, then rapidly cooling to lock the glass surfaces in a state of compression and the core in a state of tension.Compared to normal glass, thermally toughened safety glass has the dual benefit of sustaining high impact working pressures and a high temperature differential between the two faces.

Used in scientific, industrial and lighting industry products include, gauge/pressure glasses, instrument windows, camera windows, sight glasses, view ports, pressure windows and explosion proof enclosure’s.

Please note: thicknesses 3mm or less are not toughened to a British Standard.
