continued from page one

Manufacture

Toughened glass from Kite Glass is produced on a horizontal roller hearth furnace, designed and built by EFCO. By subjecting annealed glass to a controlled heating and cooling process, safety glasses of between 4mm and 25mm thick can be produced.

Fracture

In the event of breakage, glass toughened by Kite Glass fragments into small relevantly harmless pieces with dulled edges, minimising the risk of serious injury. The actual fracture pattern conforms to the relevant standard to which the glass is produced.
