Tempered glass, often referred to as toughened glass, is a type of safety glass that has been expertly engineered to endure thermal stresses and mechanical impacts far beyond that of regular glass. Through a meticulous manufactured process that involves heating the glass to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it, tempered glass becomes significantly stronger than its non-tempered counterparts. This advanced treatment not only enhances its durability but also ensures that it breaks into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, further minimizing the risk of injury.

 

Manufacturing Process: The Science Behind Tempering

The creation of tempered glass begins with high-quality float glass, which is heated uniformly to temperatures upwards of 600 degrees Celsius (about 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit). This heating process is meticulously controlled to ensure that every molecule of the glass reaches the desired temperature. Once thoroughly heated, the glass is quickly cooled in a method known as 'quenching'. This rapid cooling introduces compressive stress to the surface of the glass, resulting in a robust structure that can withstand significant amounts of stress and pressure.

Why Tempered Glass Panel is Used as Stove Top Glass? 

 

1. Enhanced Strength: Tempered glass is approximately four to five times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness. This enhanced strength makes it an ideal choice for home and kitchen appliances, thats why stove top glass is using tempered glass panel. 

 

2. Safety: One of the primary advantages of tempered glass panel is its safety feature. When broken, it shatters into small, cube-like pieces that are less likely to cause injury compared to the jagged shards of untreated glass. This attribute makes it particularly beneficial in environments where safety is paramount, such as homes, offices, and public spaces.

 

3. Thermal Resistance: The tempering process equips the glass with a remarkable ability to withstand variations in temperature. This thermal resistance allows it to be used in settings that may face direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions, such as storefronts and skyscrapers, without fear of breaking or warping.

 

4. Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional benefits, tempered glass offers a sleek and modern appearance. Its clarity and ability to be customized in terms of shape, size, and finish make it a popular choice for contemporary architecture and interior design.

 

5. Easy for Cleaning and Maintenance: with a smooth surface, tempered glass stove top is easy for cleaning and maintenance. the oil stain or dust can be removed easily with a wet towel. 

 

The High Temperature Ink Silk Screen Printing Applied in Tempered Glass Stove Top: 

 

Tempered glass high-temperature ink‌ is an ink that is firmly fused with glass at high temperatures. It is mainly used for tempering glass. Its sintering temperature is usually between 680-720°C. After high-temperature tempering treatment, the ink and the glass body are fused together to achieve color adhesion and durability.

 

for tempered glass high temperature ink silk screen printing, the high temperature ink is first printed on the prepared glass sheet, and then the printed glass sheets will be sent to the furnace for tempering, its heating temperature can reach 600-700℃（1112℉-1292℉), then cool the glass sheets rapidly to finish the tempering process. after this heating and cooling process, the printing ink is firmly stained on the glass surface, and become part of glass sheet, will never fade or fall off. 

and also after high temperature heating, the finished high temperature ink on the tempered glass sheets can withstand high temperature 300℃ easily.
