Is Car Glass Tempered?

[Tiffany]

Car windshields are made of laminated glass or zone-tempered glass, while other windows use tempered glass. The reasons why tempered glass is not used for car windshields are as follows: 1. Facilitates Escape: In emergencies, if the car door cannot be opened, the windshield can be broken with a sharp object to escape. 2. Safety Standards Requirement: According to China's safety standards, car windshields must use laminated glass or partially zone-tempered glass, while other windows should use tempered glass. 3. Strong Impact Absorption: Generally, windshields are made of laminated glass with a highly adhesive film sandwiched between two layers of glass. Upon impact, the glass cracks but minimizes the impact, significantly reducing the chance of injury.
