WHAT IS GLASS???
“Glass is a hard, fragile and transparent material” also referred as Super Cool Liquid
Composition : Silica, Sodium Carbonate, Soda Lime, Soda Ash & Raw Glass (Cullet)
Natural lightOutdoor viewEnergy conservation by choosing right glass & processStrength to weight ratio superior to concreteSmaller & less costly foundationsFreedom of color, design and shapeHigh on aestheticsMeets life & safety requirementsIncreases comfort and productivityNo need to re-paint building structures
Advantages of Glass
Let us now look at various applications of glass that we see in our daily life
Applications
and also……… BalustradesFurniture & Table Tops Mirrors Solar Modules Automotives etc…
Raw glass is generally referred as Annealed glass / Kaccha glass
It is very fragile & easily breakable into sharp & dangerous knife like pieces
SUCH AS

FUSO MAKES GLASS INTERESTING & USABLE
BY INDUCING
SAFETY, STRENGTH & ENERGY EFFICIENCY
WITH VARIOUS PROCESSES
Annealed glass is heated to a temperature of 650 degrees centigrade and rapidly cooled (quenched) down by uniform blast of air.
TOUGHENED GLASS
Advantages4-5 times stronger than annealed glassImpact resistant Breaks into harmless small crystalsIncreases resistance to thermal cracks
DisadvantagesCannot be cut once toughenedRelatively high optical distortion
TOUGHENED GLASS
Breaking pattern

Glass partitionsGlass doorsShower cubiclesShop fronts and many more…
Applications
Glass once toughened can break spontaneously without any warrant. This may be due to possible NiS content in raw glass. To reduce the probability (98%), glasses are subjected to temperature of about 280 degrees for few hours. It’s a destructive testing method.
HEAT SOAKED TOUGHENED GLASS
....... ...“Late last year the Australian Building Codes Board agreed to implement a national test for impurities in new toughened glass panes by heat soaking them. “This latest achievement will help stop impure panes of new toughened glass being fitted in tall buildings where sufficient protection from falling glass, such as balconies or awnings, is not provided. “From 1 May, a new test for new high-rise glass window panes will be phased in over a 12-month period to allow industry to adjust.’’
Mr Hinchliffe said from May 1 the Australian Building Code would be amended to include the new test provisions. The test, for glass in all windows more than 5m above floor or ground level, will become mandatory in May 2011.......
HEAT SOAKING MANDATORY IN AUSTRALIA
Same as toughened glass but where high level of safety with regard to spontaneous breakage is required.
Applications
Annealed glass is heated to a temperature of 620 degrees centigrade and gradually cooled down.
HEAT STRENGTHENED GLASS
Advantages2-3 times stronger than annealed glass Increases resistance to thermal cracksRelatively less optical distortion
DisadvantagesCannot be cut once processedBreaks in annealed form
HEAT STRENGTHENED GLASS
Curtain wall glazing (reflective glass in specific)
Applications
Two or more glasses (annealed / tempered) are bonded together with an interlayer called PVB (Poly Vinyl Butyl) or Sentry Glass.
LAMINATED GLASS
AdvantagesMakes it shatter proof Sound reduction100% protection from UV radiationBurglary resistant
DisadvantagesCannot be separated once bonded
LAMINATED GLASS
SkylightsGlass railingsGlass flooringsAutomotivesBurglary resistant requirements
Applications

Sentry Glass 2 (Click on the Video)
Two glass panes are separated by aluminium spacer filled with desiccant (drying agent) and surrounded by primary sealant such as polyisobutylene. It is finally sealed with secondary sealant such as polysulphide / silicon. These units are commonly referred as Insulated Glazed Units (IGU) /Double Glazed Units (DGU)

Applications
Bullet-Resistant Glass
Bullet resistant glass (colloquially known as bullet proof glass) is a type of strong but optically transparent glass shield that is particularly resistant to being penetrated when struck by bullets. It is also known as transparent armour.Bullet resistant glass is usually manufactured using polycarbonate thermoplastic & layers of laminated glass

• Radiation / Heat Balance :– First generation furnaces– Heat is transferred thru
radiation mode– Glass is subjected to longer
stay in the furnace– Uneven heating of glass– Inability to temper high
performance low e glasses
Radiation Tempering Ovens
• Heat transferred due to forced air convection• Can process high performance low e
glasses such as SKN / KT series of SGG• Can temper glass with emissivity as
low as 0.03• Bed size – 4.3 mtr X 2.44 mtr• Bending of glass –3.66 mtr X 2.44mtr
Top & Bottom Convection Tempering Ovens
• Uniform heating of glass on sides & edges• Lesser stay of glass in the furnace• Minimal optical distortion, local warp & bend• Lesser chances of over heating thereby helps to reduce
common problems such as roller wave marks, bow, edge dip < 15mm.
• Can process high performance low e glasses such as SKN, KT series
