Five precautions for using tempered glass products

Although tempered glass has the advantages of high toughness, bending resistance, and high safety performance compared to ordinary glass, it is essentially glass, and improper use can easily break it. Therefore, daily use requires more attention to extend the service life of tempered glass.

01 Pay attention to protecting the corners of tempered glass

If there is damage at the corners of tempered glass, the risk of glass self explosion increases exponentially. Because the stress points of tempered glass are all concentrated at the corners, corner protection is particularly important. When using tempered glass with damaged corners that cannot be handled, caution must be exercised.

02 Avoid keeping tempered glass under pressure for a long time

For the sake of indoor aesthetics, many families choose to use tempered glass as a tabletop for dining tables and coffee tables. Generally, tempered glass can withstand pressure between 70mpa and 100mpa, and this pressure multiplied by the area of the glass under pressure is the maximum pressure it can withstand. Convert to item quality=(pressure * area)/10. If not necessary, do not place heavy objects on the tempered glass tabletop for a long time to avoid the pressure reaching the critical point and causing the tempered glass to break.

03 Avoid uneven heating and cooling

If high and low temperatures are applied to both ends of a piece of glass in extreme conditions, 90% of the glass will self destruct. For example, pouring some cold water on a lit incandescent lamp will cause the glass of the incandescent lamp to break. Although the occurrence of this situation may be small for tempered glass, we are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of what might happen.

04 Stay away from acidic and alkaline substances

Avoid exposing tempered glass to alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). Glass is essentially silicon dioxide (SiO2), which can undergo chemical reactions with these substances

05 It is prohibited to use sharp or hard objects to strike the edges and corners of glass

Due to the stress points of tempered glass being concentrated at the corners, once the corners break, the probability of tempered glass breaking will increase. Therefore, for the safety of the home, do not use sharp or hard objects to strike the corners of tempered glass
