Heat Soaking

Kite Glass are able to heat soak toughened glass in their specially designed, fully calibrated ovens. Heat soaking is a thermal process for the selective destruction of toughened glass panels which may contain harmful Nickel Sulphide particles liable to cause breakage. The process time and temperature profiles used are determined by the customer. Currently Kite Glass can heat soak in accordance with EN14179 (the norm) and the older DIN 18516 pt 4. The heat soak process vastly reduces the risk of spontaneous breakage of toughened glass.
