High Speed Continuous Tempering

  • High-speed continuous tempering is a process used to strengthen glass by heating it to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. In this method, glass moves continuously through a furnace where it is evenly heated. It then passes through a cooling section where it is quickly cooled with blasts of air. This rapid cooling locks the outer surfaces in compression and the interior in tension, resulting in tempered glass that is much stronger and more resistant to breakage than regular glass.

  • Interleaving options: Wash & Paper, Dot Stickers, Powder

Shipping

  • Any truck load or LTL shipment
