Glass tempering
HSA Poland
Glass is an inherently brittle material. Therefore, in order to increase its utility values and to improve its safety we subject our products to professional glass tempering.
Tempering involves glass processing at 620-680 °C followed by rapid air cooling. During the process, the external appearance of glass does not change, but its strength increases considerably. Owing to tempering, its resistance to impact, mechanical factors, and stresses associated with surface temperature changes increases.
The mechanical strength of tempered glass is 5 to 7 times higher than the strength of normal glass. Tempered glass has a broad scope of application in the construction industry, e.g. in façades, shower cubicles, glass doors, and in modern furniture.
We present our device for tempering flat and soft coat (low-E) glass.
