Heat treated glass is also known as 'tempered' or 'stress-treated' glass. It is the result of a process that involves increasing the melting point of the raw material to more than double its initial value and then subjecting it to heat treatment to modify its physical properties. Tempered glass includes many different types such as shatterproof, fire-resistant, and medical/food/drug safety glasses. In recent years, due to the increased use of thermal coatings on all kinds of manufactured goods, including windows, dishes, tableware, toys, automotive, and household goods, there are now many 'tempered' glass products available in the market. This article aims at describing the different types of heat-treated glass to help potential buyers in making an informed buying decision.
