Vidurglass offers the possibility of manufacturing spherical or complex curved glass, tempered or non tempered.
The spherical curved tempered glass, is a safety glass that is produced by a bending process and then proceeds, if necessary, to tempering process. The procedure used to obtain spherical tempered glass bending consists of heating flat glass to its point of plasticity, giving the desired curvature using a mold. Later, if necessary, the tempering process follows, giving a sudden cooling of the glass by jets of cold air.
The spherical curved glass is one having a constant radius of less than R1000 or more than one radius.To produce this type of glass it's required to use a special mold to the desired shape, while complying with the quality requirements and regulations.
Just as flat tempered glass, curved tempered glass becomes more resistant to mechanical stress (bending, shock) and to thermal stresses (temperature differences), without altering the spectrophotometric properties of the base product.
- Resistance to shock: VIDUR tempered glass has an impact resistance of a steel ball five times higher than non-tempered glass.
-
Flexural strength: VIDUR tempered glass provides a flexural strength two and half times higher than non-tempered glass.
-
Resistance to thermal stress: VIDUR glazing support a temperature difference that can reach 200 º C.
-
Fragmentation: When broken, tempered glass VIDUR fragments into small pieces, thus minimizing the risks of deep wounds. This feature makes the glass VIDUR safety glass, specifically indicated for those applications requiring protection against the risk of injury in case of shock or shocks.
- Mass colored Glass: during its manufacturing process small amounts of metal oxides have been added to the mixture of float glass. This provides a distinctive color to the glass without affecting the basic properties of glass, with the exception of some changes in the transmission of solar energy. The color is uniform throughout the thickness.
-
Edges: edges can be arrissed, polished edge industrial, bright polished edge, etc.
-
Drilling and notching: Vidurglass tempered glass supports the incorporation of complex holes and grooves for mounting the glass according to each need.
-
Screen printing: ability to print on the glass the most varied designs and colors by silk screen process with enamel glazes, which become part of the glass mass, once hardened.
-
Special Thermal Silkscreen: analysis, design and manufacture of heated glass which contains electrical circuits that have been silkscreened on the glass surface.
-
Matt acid: possibility to apply an acid that dissolves part of the glass, creating a grainy surface that scatters the light and transforms the transparent glass into a translucent one that provides more privacy. Also available in faux acid.
