Temperlite glass: 5 times more resistant to shocks for safe driving

Tempered Glass Temperlite^™

Resistant safety glass

What is Temperlite^™?

Tempered glass is produced by heating glass to near its bending point (approx. 650℃) and rapidly cooling the surface uniformly with air.

Features and benefits

Impact resistance

Temperlite offers outstanding impact resistance: three to five times stronger than ordinary glass at the same thickness.

Small unsharp pieces

Safe in the event of accidents or glass breakage: it breaks into small chunks, it significantly reduces the risk of serious injury or harm.

Extra strong resistance

Specific glazing combined with chemical tempering treatments can offer significantly stronger and more resistant glazing while reducing the weight of your car.

Technical information

Enhanced strength

Glass produced by this special process has enhanced strength and is used mainly for the rear and side windows of vehicles.

How does it resist?

When the glass is subjected to tensile force, it is counteracted by the surface compressive stress. Tempered glass is three to five times stronger than ordinary glass at the same thickness.

What happens if breakage?

It has the characteristic of fracturing instantly if broken into small 'nuggets'. As there are no sharp, knife-like shards, it is unlikely to cause serious injury. This is why tempered glass is also known as safety glass.
