Saint-Gobain Toughened Glass: Uncompromising Strength and Safety

Saint-Gobain's Toughened Glass (also known as tempered glass) offers superior strength and safety compared to annealed glass, making it ideal for a wide range of applications where durability and impact resistance are paramount. Manufactured using a rigorous thermal tempering process, this glass undergoes controlled heating and rapid cooling, resulting in a significantly enhanced compressive surface stress. This unique characteristic dramatically increases its resistance to breakage and shattering.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Strength: Up to five times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness, making it highly resistant to impact, thermal stress, and bending. This translates to increased durability and longevity, reducing the risk of accidental breakage and the need for frequent replacements.
• Enhanced Safety: When Saint-Gobain Toughened Glass does break, it fragments into small, relatively harmless, granular pieces, minimizing the risk of serious injury compared to the sharp, jagged shards produced by annealed glass. This is crucial for applications in high-traffic areas or where safety is a primary concern.
• Superior Thermal Resistance: Its ability to withstand significant temperature fluctuations makes it suitable for applications exposed to extreme heat or cold, such as oven doors, shower enclosures, and building facades. Reduced risk of thermal breakage extends the lifespan of the product.
• High Transparency and Clarity: Despite its enhanced strength, Saint-Gobain Toughened Glass maintains excellent optical clarity, offering the same clear and unobstructed views as annealed glass.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a multitude of applications, including:
  • Architectural Glazing: Windows, doors, curtain walls, balustrades, and skylights.
  • Automotive: Windshields, side and rear windows.
  • Household Appliances: Oven doors, shower enclosures, and tabletops.
  • Furniture: Tabletops, shelves, and display cases.
  • Safety and Security: Screens, partitions, and vandal-resistant glazing.
