Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that is processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared to normal glass.
KS features industry-leading physical and chemical tempering furnaces that enhance glass hardness while ensuring flatness, aesthetic quality, and safety. This comprehensive improvement in glass performance enables our tempered glass to excel in various fields, including electronics, medical devices, construction, and solar energy etc. Additionally, our capabilities in deep processing are extensive, offering services such as glass cutting, drilling, edge grinding, silk screening, laminating, and coatings like AR/AG/AF/ITO. This allows us to provide diverse tempered glass solutions to our customers.
Tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness.
When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp, jagged shards, reducing the risk of injury.
It can withstand higher temperatures and 250 ℃ temperature variations without cracking.
Tempered glass is less prone to scratches, maintaining clarity over time.
2mm can be half physical tempered, above 3mm can be fully tempered.
2200*1600mm
The ion exchange process significantly increases the glass's strength, making it more resistant to breaking and impacts.
The glass maintains its original smoothness and optical clarity, making it ideal for applications where aesthetics and visibility are important.
Chemical strengthening enhances the flexibility of glass, allowing it to bend significantly even at very thin thicknesses without breaking.
Chemical strengthened glass can achieve higher strength while remaining thinner than tempered glass, allowing for more lightweight designs.
Unlike physical tempering, chemical strengthening ensures the flatness of the glass, allowing it to fit snugly against other components.
2300*1800mm
Used for screen protection and touch operation Usually choose the 0.3mm-1.1mm thickness glass with chemical strengthened . which can enhance user interaction experience.
Glass slides typically have a thickness of around 0.5-2mm and possess good transparency and strength to provide clear imaging under a microscope.
Tempered glass has high hardness and excellent light transmittance, making it perform exceptionally well on solar panels.
Household electronic devices such as stove, electronic scale, microwave oven, robot vacuum cleaner etc. Silkscreen printing is usually required.
Special processes such as insulating, laminating, bending, and coating are commonly used in architectural glass to meet various performance requirements.
Tempered glass plays a crucial role in the medical field, with features such as antibacterial properties, fingerprint resistance, and coatings like AR and AG ensuring excellent performance.
Physical tempered glass is made by heating annealed glass to a uniform temperature of approximately 700°C in a specialized furnace. Once the glass reaches the desired temperature, it is quickly removed and rapidly cooled. The tempering process puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension, making the glass much stronger and more resistant to breakage.
Physical tempered glass cannot be cut or modified after the tempering process due to the high internal stresses introduced during manufacturing. As a result, precise measurements and design considerations must be made before the tempering process.
Chemical strengthened glass is a type of glass that undergoes a chemical process at around 300℃ to increase its strength. Unlike tempered glass, which is strengthened by thermal processes. This process involves immersing the glass in a potassium nitrate bath, where sodium ions on the surface are replaced by larger potassium ions. This ion exchange creates a layer of compressive stress, making the glass more resistant to scratches, impacts, and bending.
Chemically treated glass breaks differently than regular glass; instead of shattering into many small pieces, it fractures into larger shards that are less sharp. Additionally, chemically treated glass is much less prone to warping and distortion over time compared to other types of glass.
The choice between physical tempering and chemical strengthening depends on various factors, including the glass material, hardness, thickness, and important aspects like surface quality and flatness. If you're unsure which process to select, KS can recommend the most suitable glass tempering solution based on your needs and usage scenarios, leveraging our extensive experience.
