What Materials Compose Automotive Glass?
1 Answers
Automotive glass is composed of processed silica glass. Below is relevant information about automotive glass: 1. Manufacturing Process: Automotive glass is produced by heating the glass to near softening temperature in a heating furnace, then rapidly transferring it to fans with varying cooling intensities for uneven cooling. This creates different stress levels between the main viewing area and peripheral zones of the glass. Typically, glass produced this way is zoned tempered glass. 2. Classification: Automotive glass mainly includes laminated glass, tempered glass, and zoned tempered glass, which can withstand strong impacts. Based on location, automotive glass is categorized into four types: windshield, side window glass, rear windshield, and sunroof glass.
