ABM Main Glass Types

At ABM, we primarily utilize two types of glass - Tempered Glass and Laminated Glass. Tempered Glass is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to breakage, however, if it does break, it shatters into small, rounded fragments, making it unsuitable for further cutting or processing. On the other hand, Laminated Glass is designed to resist breakage and even if it does break, the interlayer and film will prevent the glass from shattering and keep it intact.
Toughened Glass
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

The most common glass used for structural applications.

Annealed glass is heated to 700 degrees by conduction, convection, and radiation and then cooled rapidly.

The cooling process is accelerated by blasts of air to both surfaces. the differing rates of cooling between the inside and the surface produce an impressively strong structure, 5 times stronger than annealed.

If broken under extreme pressure, breaks into small square fragments rather than long dangerous shards.

Laminated Glass
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

All glass can be laminated, most commonly two sheets of glass are laminated together with a Polyiynil Butyral (PVB) interlayer.

Laminated glass is normally used for security because if broken will not fall to pieces as it is held together by the interlayer of vinyl.

A variety of other uses such as UV resistance and sound (DB) reduction can be achieved through the use of differing laminates

Laminated glass is not commonly as strong as Toughened.
