Tempered glass pane
Tempered glass without coating is a high-performance safety glass produced through a controlled thermal process that enhances its strength and resistance to external stress. Made from annealed soda lime silicate glass, this single glass lite is thermally toughened by heating it to approximately 650–680 °C and then rapidly cooling it using high-pressure air. This treatment creates internal compressive stresses that significantly improve the glass’s mechanical strength (4–6x stronger than standard annealed glass), impact resistance, and thermal shock resistance (Operational up to 250 °C). In the event of breakage, the glass shatters into small, blunt fragments, minimizing the risk of injury. This makes it ideal for safety-critical applications in architectural, interior, and commercial glazing. Tempered single glass lites are often used without coatings but can be fabricated with polished, grinded, or arrissed edges, and may include holes or cut-outs upon request.
