What is Chemically Tempered Glass？
Chemical toughened glass is placed in molten alkali salt, so that the ions in the surface layer of the glass are exchanged with the ions in the molten salt, and due to the volume change after the exchange, the compressive stress is formed on both surfaces of the glass, and the tensile stress is formed in the interior, so as to achieve the effect of improving the strength of the glass. Chemically tempered glass has high strength, good thermal stability, no surface deformation, can be properly cut and treated, and has no self-detonation phenomenon.
Characteristics of Chemically Tempered Glass:
- Strength: chemically tempered glass has more than 3 times bending strength and more than 5 times impact strength than ordinary glass without tempering, which can effectively prevent shattering and splashing.
- High aesthetics: chemically tempered glass has a flat, smooth surface, no bubbles, no defects, no discoloration, and can maintain good transparency and gloss.
- High safety: once the chemically tempered glass is broken, its fragments will split into small particles, reducing the harm to the human body.
- Thermal stability: Chemically toughened glass has good thermal stability and is able to withstand large temperature changes without breaking. This property makes it suitable for a variety of environments with large temperature variations, such as areas with large indoor/outdoor temperature differences or applications that require frequent heating and cooling.
- Good optical properties: Chemically tempered glass is superior in optical performance. It demonstrates high flatness as well as light transmittance, truly restores the color of the object itself, and meets people’s visual needs.
Applications of Chemically Tempered Glass:
- Architectural Glazing: glass is widely used in architectural fields, such as curtain walls, large-area energy-saving glass, indoor partitions, staircase handrails and so on. Its high strength and impact resistance make it safer in buildings such as high-rise facades or glass curtain walls.
- Home field: Chemically tempered glass is loved by everyone in the furniture industry. It can be widely used in furniture, walls and other areas, and can be made in various colors and patterns according to different needs.
- Automotive field: Can be used for automotive windshields, side windows, mirrors and roof parts can be made of chemically tempered glass, good impact resistance can be better protected to protect the safety of passengers in the car.
- Furniture: For example, cabinet door tempered glass can be used in any style of kitchen, the decorative effect of atmospheric simplicity
Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety:When the glass breaks, it will form small pieces instead of big pieces, which is safer and more reliable.
- High sound absorption: The thickness of chemically tempered glass is generally between 5-19mm, which is thicker than ordinary glass and has better effect in sound insulation.
- Good aesthetics: chemically tempered glass can be made in a variety of colors and patterns according to different needs, which can meet different aesthetic needs.
In summary, chemically tempered glass offers a combination of strength, safety, and clarity, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications in architecture, automotive, electronics, and more.
