Processed toughened or tempered glass is glass that has been processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempered glass is made by processes which create internal stresses which give the glass strength. Moreover, it is the only glass strong enough to withstand high levels of thermal stress, a common reason for breakage in building facade glazing units. These safety Featuress also make it an exemplary choice for automotive applications. Guaranteeing quality, Rider applies heat soak testing to all of its tempered glass before packaging and loading. It is available in all of Rider’s standard float thicknesses and sizes.
Rider can produce the flat of curved tempered glass. The size can be customized and the different tempered logos can be printed on the glass according to customers’ requirements. All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering. Ideal for areas with high wind loads and areas where human contacts is an important consideration, Rider’s tempered glass is the perfect option for architects who must meeting building codes and safety requirements.

GLASS DESCRIPTION
Ultra clear tempered glass is produced by heating annealed glass in a furnace to 620℃. Progressing from the furnace, the glass is rapidly cooled with jets of cold air, inducing compressive stresses to the surface while the center remains tensile.
4-5 times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness.
Stronger resistance to thermal breakage than annealed or heat strengthened glass
If breakage occurs the glass breaks up into small, cubical fragments, which are not threatening to humans.
All work done on glass (beveling, cutting, bending, etc) must be done before tempering.
