The thermal tempering process of AYDIN ACAR YACHT GLASS creates a temperature difference between the core and the outer surfaces of the glass by heating and cooling the soda-lime glass in a controlled manner. The stress generated during this process compresses the outer surfaces, resulting in a much more durable structure than standard soda-lime glass. When broken, tempered glass breaks into small pieces. It is also called ‘safety tempering’ because the risk of injury to persons when the glass is broken is significantly reduced.
