The heat treatment process of heat soaking glass is done by combining heat, time and material. Heat and heat soak times can be altered to suit variations in thickness and heat absorption. Heat-soaking glass does not just provide a surface resistance but also acts as a toughening treatment for laminated or strengthened safety glass of any type.
Benefits of heat soaking glass
Heat soaking glass significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous breakage in tempered glass by identifying and causing nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusions to break during the process, thus minimizing the chance of unexpected fractures after installation.
Here’s a more detailed explanation of the benefits:
Reduced Risk of Spontaneous Breakage
Enhanced Safety
Cost Savings
Suitable for High-Risk Applications.
