GSC Toughened Glass Ltd. Offers Heat Strengthened Glass with flatter finish surface. GSC Glass Ltd. Has been engaged into architectural glass processing and it has ISO 9001:2000 certification. This Heat strengthened glass is a semi tempered glass which has been strengthened thermally by inducing a surface compression of 6000 to 9000 psi as compared to a range of 11000 to 20000 psi in case of fully tempered glass.
Heat-strengthened glass is valued for its mechanical strength which is twice of normal annealed though half of fully tempered glass. With the exception of strength and breakage characteristic, heat-strengthened glass retains the normal properties of annealed glass including chemical resistance, hardness, expansion and deflection.
Heat-strengthened glass provides necessary resistance to thermal stress associated with high performance glazing materials such as tinted glass, reflective glass and Low-E glass. It also provides necessary resistance to heat building up when using spandrels glass. When producing Heat strengthened laminated glass as compared to Tempered Laminated glass, Heat-strengthened glass allows the interlayer to laminated glass to adhere more evenly because of a flatter finish surface. Heat strengthened glass with its flatter surface also results in the facade having less optical distortions.
