What Causes Sudden Glass Breakage?
1 Answers
Glass can naturally break for three main reasons: poor tempering of the glass itself, insufficient gaps left during installation causing the glass to expand when heated and press against metal edges, leading to uneven stress and breakage, or uneven heating during window film application, where localized heat from a blow dryer causes thermal expansion stress and deformation, resulting in glass shattering. Below is more information about automotive glass: 1. Automotive glass is produced by heating the glass to near its softening point in a furnace, then rapidly transferring it to fans with varying cooling intensities for uneven cooling, creating different stress levels between the main viewing area and peripheral zones—this produces zoned glass. 2. Automotive glass is an essential part of vehicle body accessories, primarily serving a protective function. There are three main types of automotive glass: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zoned glass.
