Bending tempered glass

Bending Tempered Glass (also called curved toughened glass) is a high-performance safety glass that combines the strength of tempered glass with flexible curved design—redefining aesthetic versatility and structural reliability in modern architecture and specialty applications, solving the limitations of flat tempered glass: inability to fit curved structures, lack of design fluidity, and compromised strength in post-formed curved glass. Its core advantage lies in the integrated thermal bending & tempering process: flat glass sheets are first heated to 620–650°C (near melting point) in a curved mold, shaped into custom arcs (single-curved, double-curved, or compound-curved) via precision pressure control, then rapidly cooled with high-pressure air—creating the same surface compressive stress (and 3–5x strength vs. annealed glass) as flat tempered glass while retaining the curved form permanently. This process ensures no post-forming weakening, delivering a 15–20 year service life…
