Tempered Glass (TG)
pcTempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatment to increase its strength compared to normal glass.
expanded
Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, undergoes a thermally or chemically induced strengthening process. It breaks into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards upon impact, making it safer for use in environments where human safety is a concern. Common applications include building windows, automotive glass, and product displays, where impact resistance is required.
examples
An example of tempered glass used in a car windshield has a typical thickness of 4 mm to 6 mm, with a surface compression of at least 69 MPa (10,000 psi).
Tempered glass windshields are integral to automotive safety because they provide high impact resistance and safety in the event of an accident.
Tempered glass is often used in mobile phone screens, typically ranging from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm in thickness, providing both durability and touch sensitivity.
Used in smartphone displays to prevent breakage from drops and impacts, offering consumers durability and robustness.
