Toughened glass belong to safety glass, which is widely used for the places of higher mechanical strength and safety request, such as glass doors, building walls, facades windows, interior partitions, furniture etc. Its characteristics determine glass blew can not be avoided, and can not predict the blew time and conditions, therefore, in order to prevent harm from blew glass, glass processing and installation process will often take some measures or methods, to reduce losses caused by glass blew.
1, hot-dip treatment: tempered glass would have been on the hot-dip furnace heating, insulation and cooling process, so nickel sulfide glass reaches a steady state, the internal stress in the glass to tour the balance in order to reduce blew rate purposes. Advantages: blew greatly reduced rate, low cost, does not change the glass specifications and layout. Weaknesses: can not be completely ruled out blew, and the stress will be reduced accordingly.
2, laminated glass: PVB interlayer between the glass clip, made of high temperature and pressure processing. PVB film is very good toughness, laminated glass broken when the external force can absorb impact energy and make a lot of rapid decay, so laminated glass is difficult to breakdown, maintaining excellent integrity. This makes the use of laminated glass buildings hazard when exposed to explosions, storms, earthquakes, etc., even if the glass breaks, still remain within the framework of the doors and windows to protect the building and outside personnel from flying glass fragments, wind and rain and other foreign matter is difficult to cause damage to the chamber. The downside is: 1) to increase the thickness of the glass weight and load bearing structures; 2)not conducive to the escape and rescue from fires; 3) increase the construction cost.
3, Foil Glass: Glass posted in high-performance polyester films. Polyester film known safety hazard proof membrane, the glass cracked due to various reasons, can stick to prevent flying glass fragments, both inside and outside the building to protect personnel from flying glass fragments, wind and rain, and other foreign matter is difficult to cause damage to the interior . Safety explosion-proof membrane can be connected together and organic rubber rim system, consisting of a glass film protection system to prevent falling. Advantages: easy to process, without changing the size and layout of the glass. Weaknesses: increased construction costs.
