Heat Strengthen Glass

What it is?

Heat-strengthened glass is a type of processed glass that undergoes a heat treatment to increase its strength when compared to annealed glass (regular untreated glass). While not as strong as fully tempered glass, heat-strengthened glass offers better resistance to thermal stress and breakage than annealed glass. Here are some key characteristics and advantages of heat-strengthened glass:

  • Strength
  • Thermal Resistance
  • BProcessing Possibilities
  • Regulatory Compliance

Advantage

Heat-strengthened glass offers several advantages due to its enhanced strength compared to regular annealed glass. While not as strong as fully tempered glass, heat-strengthened glass provides a good balance between strength and safety. Here are some of the advantages of heat-strengthened glass:

  • Increased StrengthThe primary advantage of heat-strengthened glass is its higher strength compared to annealed glass. While not as strong as tempered glass, heat-strengthened glass offers better resistance to mechanical stress and impact, reducing the likelihood of breakage.
  • Thermal Resistance Heat-strengthened glass is designed to have improved resistance to thermal stress. This means it can withstand higher temperature differentials without breaking, making it suitable for applications where exposure to varying temperatures is a concern.
  • Applications

  • Storefronts and Shopfronts: Heat-strengthened glass is suitable for storefronts and shopfronts, providing improved strength and safety over annealed glass.
  • Glass Railings and Balustrades: In applications where safety is a concern, such as railings and balustrades, heat-strengthened glass can be used to reduce the risk of breakage and injury.
  • Skylights: Skylights often use heat-strengthened glass to withstand varying temperatures and reduce the risk of breakage due to thermal stress.
  • Partition Walls: eat-strengthened glass can be used in interior partition walls, providing a balance between transparency and strength.
  • Automotive Glazing:While tempered glass is more commonly used in automotive applications, heat-strengthened glass may find use in side and rear windows.
