Glass Strengthening Capabilities
Source: Abrisa Technologies
The Chemical Strengthening process toughens soda lime through a sodium and potassium ion exchange in a salt bath. Glass can be strengthened from 8 to 16 hours and is often requested for toughened thin display applications.
Chemical strengthening is best suited for thin soda lime sheets (under 3mm) and applications where optical distortion must be kept to a minimum. Chemically strengthened glass does not “dice” like fully heat tempered glass when broken.
HIE™ chemically strengthened glass advantages:
- Improved impact resistance
- Improved flexibility strength
- Improved scratch resistance
- Improved resistance to temperature changes
Abrisa Technologies HIE™ Glass offerings include:
- Thicknesses from 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm (consult factory for additional options)
- Sheet sizes* from 18.7″ to 49.2″ (475 mm to 1250 mm)
