float glass tempered
Float glass tempered, also known as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass that has been processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared to normal glass. The main functions of float glass tempered include providing enhanced security, thermal resistance, and durability. Technological features of this glass involve a heating process that raises the glass to a temperature near its softening point, followed by a rapid and even cooling. This process results in the outer surfaces of the glass being under high compression and the interior being in tension, which gives the glass its strength. Float glass tempered is used in a variety of applications such as architectural glass doors and tables, as a component of bulletproof glass, and in automotive applications.
