Thermal

Materials thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 25mm can be toughened thermally using either our 650 flatbed or rotary toughening plants

Chemical Strengthening

This process is carried out by immersing the glass in a bath containing molten (450°C) potassium salt, where an exchange takes place between the potassium ions from the salt and the smaller sodium ions in the glass

Annealing

We have a number of specialist kilns and ovens in which we can carry out commercial annealing to relieve internal stresses in flame polished and other hot worked product
