White Decorative Silk Screen Printed Tempered Glass

White Decorative Silk Screen Printed Tempered Glass Fully tempered glass is approximately four times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness and configuration. When broken, it will break into many relatively small fragments, which are less likely to cause serious injury and lacerations. The process of tempering begins by sending glass through a tempering oven and heating it to over 600 °C, or over 1100 °F. After this, the glass goes through a high-pressure cooling procedure called Quenching. This is when high-pressure air blasts the surface of the glass from an array of nozzles in varying positions. This cools the outside of the glass quicker than the center which forces the glass to shift internally to pull on its own structure. As a result, the center remains in tension and the outer surfaces go into compression and this is what gives this glass its strength. Heat strengthened glass is not cooled as quickly as tempered glass is, which means the compre…
