Engineering Glass Types 

Here are some common types of engineering glass: 

Tempered Glass: 


Tempered glass is processed to be stronger than standard glass and is known for its safety features. When it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of injury. It's commonly used in car windows, shower doors, and as a protective cover for electronic devices. 

  Laminated Glass:




Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of plastic (usually PVB) between two layers of glass. This design prevents the glass from shattering upon impact, making it ideal for applications like windshields, safety glass in buildings, and even bulletproof glass. 


Low-E (Low Emissivity) Glass:



Low-E glass is coated with a thin, transparent layer that reflects heat while allowing light to pass through. This glass is energy-efficient and helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs in buildings. 

Fire-Resistant Glass:



Fire-resistant glass is designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire. It's used in fire-rated doors, windows, and partitions in buildings to provide crucial fire protection. 

Borosilicate Glass:

Known for its resistance to thermal expansion, borosilicate glass is used in laboratory equipment, cookware (e.g., Pyrex), and high-temperature applications like telescope lenses.

Quartz Glass:


Quartz glass, also known as fused silica, can withstand extremely high temperatures and is used in semiconductor manufacturing, optics, and as laboratory glassware. Optical Glass: Optical glass is engineered for precise light transmission and dispersion. It's used in lenses, prisms, and other optical components in cameras, microscopes, and telescopes. 

  Reinforced Glass:


Reinforced glass, like Gorilla Glass, is strengthened with a special chemical process to resist scratches and impacts, making it a popular choice for smartphone screens and tablets.
