DURAGLAS-C Chemically-Strenghened Glass
Introduction
CSG -
Strengthened Glass is a product which is strengthened by means of an ion exchange process. The exchange takes place when the soda-lime float glass is immersed in a hot molten salt that consists of potassium nitrate. During the submersion cycle, the larger potassium ions exchange places with the smaller sodium ions in the surface of the glass. The resistance of the glass surface is increased through ions exchange. Using this process, it does not matter what the glass thickness and shape is as the inner ion remains intact and only the surface ions are exchanged.CSG is considered as a strengthened glass product IS STRONGER THAN TEMPERED GLASS with its own special characteristics and is not a substitute for thermally tempered glass.
Characteristics
Versatility
CSG allows treatment of glass as thin as 1.0 mm and in very small sizes. It also does not affect the optical quality of the glass as it does not induce distortion or warp.
Strength
CSG is five to six times mechanically stronger than that of annealed glass of the same type and thickness. It has more impact endurance and shows no optical or chemical deformation.
Temperature Resistance
CSG can withstand temperature up to 200°C yet showing no distortion by the heating process.
