Glasses which have been heat-treated to increase their resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses.
The glass is heated to more than 600 °C and then gradually cooled.
Heat-strengthened glass is mainly used to prevent breakage caused by thermal stresses. It is not considered a safety glass. When broken, this type of glass shatters into large pieces that remain in the frame.

Overview
Pilkington T glass is the name for Pilkington Toughened Safety Glass. Pilkington T glass is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness. Because of its increased strength, Pilkington T glass allows architects and builders far greater scope in their use of glass in buildings. It meets world-wide safety standards for glass subjected to accidental human impact at the highest level of severity. Wherever the benefits of ordinary glass need to be combined with extra strength, safety or heat resistance, Pilkington T glass can offer a complete and proven solution.
Pilkington T glass Plus is the heat soaked form of Pilkington T glass for those applications where a reduction in the of spontaneous fracture is advantageous, such as structural applications, barriers and roof glazing. In this case Pilkington T Plus should be specified along with the other product benefits required.
Pilkington T glass is manufactured by subjecting final size, edgeworked panes of glass to a heating and cooling treatment whereby high compressive stresses are set up at the surfaces with balancing tensile stresses in the centre. The high compressive surface stresses give the Pilkington T glass its increased strength.

Thermal Tempering is when glass is re-heated to just below its melting point, then suddenly cooled by directing multiple jets of cold air at a controlled pressure onto its surface.
By this means, the outer surface of the glass is subjected to compression and its interior to traction. The intensity of these two forces depends on the temperature that was reached just before cooling starts, enabling the production of tempered or heat-strengthened glass.

Overview
Pilkington Optilam™ is the brand name for our laminated glass range an alternative solution for impact safety. The glass will break following impact but will remain in place thus preventing injury.
Pilkington Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with one or more plastic interlayers. Two types of interlayer are used, which have differing properties. The most common is a polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayer, which is applied with heat and pressure in factory controlled conditions.
Laminated glass can also be produced by a cast-in-place (CIP) process, in which a resin is poured between two panes of glass held apart by a spacer at the edges. The resin is subsequently cured and the product is known as Pilkington Laminated Glass.
The performance of Pilkington Optilam™ and Pilkington Laminated Glass can be varied by changing the number and thickness of each of the panes of glass, and the PVB or CIP interlayers. This provides the specifier with a wide choice of products depending on application, whether it be for safety or security, noise control, solar control, UV screening, blast resistance or privacy and decoration. See also Pilkington Optilam™ I and Pilkington Optilam™ Phon.
