Bharat Toughened fully tempered glass is approximately four times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness and configuration. When it is broken, tempered glass fractures into small fragments that reduce the probability of serious injury as compared to annealed glass. Tempered glass meets all safety glazing standards including ARAI,AIS-037. Because tempered glass fractures into many small pieces, it tends to vacate the opening, when broken, more than heat-strengthened and annealed glass does.
Applications
Tempered glass is used when the strength requirements exceed the capabilities of heat-strengthened glass, and for all safety glazing applications.Tempered glass is commonly used in sliding doors, storm doors, atriums, partitions, windows, storefronts, display cases, bath and shower enclosures and all-glass doors and entrances. Tempered glass should not be installed in areas where it is exposed to temperatures greater than approximately 400°F because it will begin to lose its degree of temper (reverting back to annealed glass)
