Visiontek Systems Ltd.

Thermally Tempered Glass or Toughened Glass

Visiontek Systems offer a range of thermally tempered or toughened glass

At least two and a half times as strong as traditionally tempered glass· Five times as strong as un-tempered glass
It can be ground, drilled and cut without any risk of breakage
Thermally tempered glass, when laminated, will have a localized break pattern for better visibility

Minimum thickness

3.0mm

How to improve the resistance of your glass by thermal tempering ?

Advantages of tempered glass

2 to 5 times more impact resistant than un-tempered glass
High resistance to thermal stress
When it breaks, the glass bursts into multiple pieces with very few sharp parts
Verre Industrie applies the current standards of safety glass
- BUILDING: EN12150
- RAILWAY: NFF31129
- LIGHTING: EN60598

Manufacturing process for tempered glass

Glass cutting & processing needs to be done before tempering
Heating: passing the glass through an oven to bring it close to its softening point (+/- 600°C depending on the type of glass)e
Tempering: sudden and rapid surface cooling thanks to air jets, creating antagonistic forces between the core and the glass surface and thus making it more resistant.
Cooling: during complete cooling, the core of the glass will not be able to contract as much as it wishes and therefore expands, the skins in reaction will be in compression.

Applications of tempered glass

Tempered glass is used in many industries

Transport
Electronics
Industrial equipment
Lighting
Urban furniture
Building

Hardening control with fragmentation test :
the quality of the hardening is checked on every batch by a breakage test
