Types : Toughened glass: safety glasses which have been heat treated to increase their resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses

Heat-treated glasses#Toughened glass

The glass is heated to more than 600 °C and then quickly cooled. If broken, it shatters into many small blunt pieces.

Toughened glasses retain the light transmission and energy properties of the base product. Once toughened, they can no longer be cut or shaped.

They may, however, be assembled into Thermobel insulating sealed units, be coated, and be assembled into Stratobel and Stratophone laminated glasses.
