Model Number: KG-FG-000708 Brand Name: KINDLY Key Specifications/Special Features: Tempered (toughened) glass is two or more times stronger thanannealed glassWhen broken, it shatters into many small fragments whichprevent major injuriesThis type of glass is intended for glass faades,sliding doors, building entrances, bath and shower enclosures andother uses requiring superior strength and safety propertiesTwo different methods used to produce tempered glass:Heat treating:

Where the annealed glass is subjected to a specialheat-treatment in which it is heated to about 680°C andafterwards cooled

If it is cooled rapidly, the glass is up to four times strongerthen annealed glass and its breaks into many small fragments(fully-tempered)

If it is cooled slowly, the glass is twice as strong asannealed glass and the fragments of the broken glass are linear andmore likely to remain in the frame

Chemical strengthening:

• Glass is covered by a chemical solution which produces a highermechanical resistance
• Chemically-strengthened glass has similar properties tothermal-treated glass
• Product is not generally used for window glass, but morecommonly seen in industries where thin, strong glass is needed
