Can a Car's Windshield Crack Naturally?
1 Answers
The windshield of a car generally does not crack naturally, and the possibility of quality issues is minimal. Check the vehicle for any external damage marks caused by flying stones. Below is relevant information about the glass: 1. Laminated glass refers to a type of glass where a transparent adhesive plastic film is placed between two or three layers of glass, combining the toughness of the plastic with the hardness of the glass to enhance the glass's resistance to breakage. Tempered glass is made by quenching ordinary glass to create internal stresses, thereby strengthening the glass. When impacted and broken, the glass shatters into small pieces with blunt edges, reducing the risk of injury to passengers. 2. Zone-tempered glass is a new variety of tempered glass that undergoes special treatment. When impacted and cracked, the glass maintains a certain level of clarity in its cracks, ensuring the driver's field of vision remains unaffected. Currently, most car front windshields are made of laminated tempered glass or laminated zone-tempered glass, which can withstand strong impacts.
