For applications requiring additional mechanical and thermal
strength beyond that provided by annealed glass.
Jersey Tempered Glass
offers both heat strenghtened and tempered glass. All heat treated
products are done on our state of the art horizontal oven with a maximum
size of 60" x 120".
JTG heat strengthened and tempered glasses are
glasses that are produced within specifications required by ASTM
C-1048.
Tempered Glass
JTG's tempered glass is approximately seven
times the strength of annealed glass. If breakage should occur, the
glass will break into small cubical fragments that minimizes
the risk of personal injury.
- Available thicknesses:
1/8", 5/32" 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"
JTG tempered products meet
the following standards:
- ANSI Z97.1 Standard for Safety
Glazing Materials
- 16 CFR 1201 Categories I and II - Consumer
Product Safety Commision Standard
Heat Strengthened Glass
JTG's
Heat Strengthened Glass is approximately three times the strength
of annealed glass and
does not exhibit the small particle break
pattern of tempered glass. Spontaneous breakage due to nickle-sulfide
crystals does not occur with heat strengthened glass. This product
is recommended when excellent resistance to extreme solar stress and
cyclic wind loads are required.
- Available thicknesses:
1/8", 5/32",3/16" and 1/4"
