| tempered glass |
Glass that is strengthened through the process of heating and then cooling the surfaces rapidly. This creates surface compression and tensile strength that causes glass to resist breakage, yet disintegrate into small pieces if a break occurs. Fully tempered glass must have a surface compression of 10,000 psi. This process produces glass four times more impact resistant than non tempered glass.
