Tempered Glass

Tempered-MainEastern Glass Resources, Inc. fully tempered glass offers higher mechanical and thermal strength than annealed or heat strengthened glass.

Tempered glass normally has a breakage pattern of small pieces and is less likely to cause severe injuries than annealed or heat strengthened glass.

  • Tempered glass has approximately four times the mechanical & thermal strength of annealed glass of equal thickness.
  • Tempered glass can not be cut or drilled after tempering. Any field fabrication, including edge grinding, sand blasting or acid etching can cause premature failure.
  • Fabrication Guidelines for Tempered Glass

Conformances:

  • Consumers Product Safety Commission 16 CFR 1201
  • ANSI Z97.1 American National Standard for safety glazing materials used in Buildings-Safety Performance Specifications and Methods of Test
  • ASTM C1048
  • Member of Tempering Division of the Glass Association of North America (GANA)
