utility to the end users.
3. The Process from Normal Glass to Safety Glass
The normal glass plate is heat treated at 650 degree Celsius and
immediately cooled off with cold air in controlled environment.
The sudden temperature shock converts the normal glass to “toughened
glass” which is immensely heat resistant, shock resistant and durable.
