Comparison between tempered glass and annealed glass

Tempered glass is always referred to as toughened glass as well. Here We would like to give a comparison between tempered glass and annealed glass.

Tempered glass is about four to five times stronger than annealed glass. It is meant for applications that may withstand severe pressure that annealed glass couldn't handle without shattering. It is always known as safety glass because when it does shatter, it breaks apart in tiny square like pieces that are not as sharp and dangerous as normal shattered glass shards which can be pointed, sharp and extremely dangerous during both breaking and clean up afterwards.

Tempered glass is a single piece of glass that is strengthened through a immediate cooling process. This cooling process tempers the glass by blasting both the top and bottom surfaces with air. The outside surfaces in the glass cool faster in comparison to the core of the decanter or glass.
