How to extend the life of a U-shaped toughened glass
The toughened glass is a safety glass. The U-shaped toughened glass is a type of prestressed glass that is heated to a temperature (600-650 â ° C) near the glass's softening point. Deep-processed glass products are chemically cooled or tempered quickly. Glass has good mechanical properties and heat resistance, also known as U-shaped toughened glass.
U-shaped toughened glass are now used by many large corporations. Is there any way to extend its service life? Next, let me introduce to you.
First, avoid putting pressure on the U-shaped toughened glass for long periods of time while using it.
Many families opt for a toughened glass table and coffee table for a more aesthetically pleasing interior. But the glass can withstand the pressure generally in the 70 mpa to 100 mpa, this pressure times the force area of the glass is it can withstand the z big pressure. Converted to mass = (pressure * area)/10. If not necessary, do not place heavy objects on the table for a long time, so as not to break the glass when the pressure reaches a critical point.
The U-shaped toughened glass can not be cut again, but can only be tempered before the glass is processed into the desired shape, and then toughened;
Although the U-shaped toughened glass are stronger than ordinary glass, when the temperature difference varies greatly, the U-shaped toughened glass may self-explode due to its own defects, while ordinary glass has no possibility to self-explode.
Secondly, when using U-shaped toughened glass, avoid contact with basic substances such as sodium hydroxide acid (caustic soda) and hydrofluoric acid.
You see, the U-shaped toughened glass is essentially glass, which is silicon dioxide. If long-term exposure to sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) , hydrofluoric acid and other basic substances, chemical reactions will occur, it is particularly bad.
