Float Glass Data Sheet

Chemically strengthened or chemically tempered glass and thermally heat strengthened glass will tend to fracture much the same as normal strength annealed glass and are not considered safety glazing products.

Float glass data sheet.

Normal strength glass also known as annealed or float glass is known to fracture into large sections with sharp edges. Float glass is characterized by great surface hardness but is very fragile and uv transmittant. It can be laminated toughened and is treated exactly the same as clear float glass. Designed for applications where optimum.

Clear float and low ironglass data sheet v1 3 0 where and why use low iron glass low iron glass can be used anywhere clear float glass can be used. It is usually color neutral and highly transparent but tints are possible too. Float glass is soda lime glass made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin this method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat smooth surfaces. Float glass also called flat glass that has not been heat strengthened or tempered is annealed glass.

Glass and glass dust is not considered a hazardous waste under usepa rcra. Annealed glass can be cut machined drilled edged and polished. Chemically strengthened or chemically tempered glass and thermally heat strengthened glass will tend to fracture much the same as normal strength annealed glass and are not considered safety glazing products.
