Description
Toughened or
tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled
thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared
with normal glass. Tempering creates balanced internal stresses
which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular
chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The granular
chunks are less likely to cause injury.
As a result of its
safety and strength, tempered glass is used in a variety of
demanding applications, including passenger vehicle windows, shower
doors, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, as
a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and various
types of plates and cookware. In the United States, since ***7
Federal law has required glass located within *8 in (*6 cm) of a
floor or doorway to be tempered
