The U-shaped Toughened glass is prestressed glass. Chemical or physical methods are used to create compressive stress on its surface and increase its strength. When external forces act on the glass, they must first overcome this surface stress, improving its load-bearing capacity and resistance to wind pressure, temperature changes, and impact. 

First, toughened glass is several times stronger than ordinary glass. Its bending strength is 3 ~ 5 times that of ordinary glass, and its impact strength is 5 ~ 10 times greater. This increased strength also improves safety.

The second is the use of safety, its load-bearing capacity increased to improve the fragile nature, even if the U-shaped toughened glass damage is also no acute angle of small debris, damage to the human body greatly reduced. The resistance of U-shaped toughened glass to rapid cooling and rapid heating is 2-3 times better than that of ordinary glass. Generally, it can accept temperature difference above 150 LC, which has obvious effect on avoiding thermal burst.

The U-shaped Toughened glass is produced by heating high-quality float glass close to its softening point and then rapidly cooling its surface. This creates compressive stress at the surface and tensile stress in the central layer. The strong, uniform surface compression counteracts tensile stress caused by external loads, improving the safety of the glass.

Safety: when broken by an external force, the glass forms small, blunt-edged, honeycomb-like particles that are less likely to cause injury.

High Strength: U-shaped Compared with ordinary glass of the same thickness, toughened glass has 3-5 times the impact strength and 3-5 times the bending strength.

Thermal stability: the U-shaped toughened glass has good thermal stability. It can withstand a temperature difference three times that of ordinary glass and a temperature change of 200 ° C.
