3 Reasons To Use Heat Soaked Glass

Prioritize safety with Heat Soaked Glass, an essential choice for reducing the risk of spontaneous breakage in tempered glass. By subjecting the glass to a heat soak test, the likelihood of unexpected fractures caused by nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusions is significantly lowered. Here are three compelling reasons why incorporating heat soaked glass is a wise decision:

1. Minimized risk of spontaneous breakage: The process of heat soaking effectively diminishes the chances of spontaneous breakage, preventing sudden fractures caused by microscopic impurities like NiS inclusions.

2. Enhanced safety: With the reduced risk of spontaneous breakage, buildings become safer environments, as the potential for injury or damage resulting from glass breakage is greatly reduced.

3. Adherence to building codes: Numerous building codes mandate the use of heat soaked glass in specific applications, particularly in structural glass assemblies, to ensure safety and minimize the risk of breakage.

At Hartung, we have invested in state-of-the-art Heat Soak Test Equipment, dedicated to meeting the market's demands. Our equipment can accommodate sizes up to 95" x 165", providing an effective solution to reduce the risk of post-installation breakage due to the possible presence of Nickel Sulphide stone inclusions.

By opting for heat soaked glass, you can enjoy increased safety, compliance with building codes, enhanced peace of mind, and improved durability. This choice is especially crucial in applications where tempered glass is exposed to high stress, such as structural glass assemblies or areas where individuals are frequently near the glass.
