| In August 2013, the LiSEC development team started a major project with the mission: redesign of the tempering furnaces in order to save manufacturing costs and at the same time increase the process reliability. Result: the AEROFLAT.
| Described as one of the most ambitious real-estate projects in Mexico, the new El Toreo mixed-use complex in Mexico City has deployed SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers from Kuraray in the glazed roof of the shopping mall, which forms part of the impressive structure.
| “Thank you for all the services your company has provided for us. We really appreciate all, the great installation and startup of the RC200™. We are very happy with the outcome of our new furnace.”
| For the past five years, Nile Aluminium & Metals Company, or AluNile, has had very positive experiences with Glaston's first FC500™ tempering furnace sold outside Finland.
| Thanks to the laminating and toughening of glass panels, we are able to make strong, safe and resilient structures out of glass.

| After 10 years of experience with the Glaston HTF 2142 furnace, Paul Buckley, Managing Director of the PJB Glass Group, decided to complement his flat glass production offering by investing in a Glaston RC200™ furnace.
| The Flachglas Group employs around 1,100 employees at three sites in Switzerland and three sites in Germany – around 650 of them generate revenues of approx. € 70 million at the Wernberg site (Bavaria).
| Sanshiba Shozai of Japan chose to be the first glass processor in the world to invest in Glaston’s latest GlastonInsight™,the intelligent online assistance system, at the same time as it ordered the Glaston RC350™ tempering furnace.
| Although the standard glass design strategy is redundancy, we pursue a safer way to ensure the robustness of transparent glass beam structures.
| Despite the increasing research activity on structural use of glass in the past years, there is still a lack of comprehensive design codes and standards linked to real-life applications on a structural level. However, more and more ambitious buildings and structures are built every year.
| The article presents an overview of research and applications of glass as structural material, cooperating with other materials: steel, timber, glass or carbon fibre composites.
| Differently from traditional structural materials, the structural behaviour of laminated glasses exhibits some anomalies due to the difference in the stressstrain laws of their components: glass is a brittle material, while PVB and SGP are thermoplastic materials with a visco-elastic behaviour.
| Breakage patterns, residual stress, and fractured surfaces on tempered glasses are investigated to find the correlation among glass thickness, tempered level, and the number of fragments, particularly when the glass thickness is less than 4 mm.
| Will glass break if window film is installed to glazing?

| SSV tested thousands of glass panes from 2000 according to the European Standards for thermally toughened safety glass EN 12150 and according to EN 1863 for heat strengthened glass.
| Last week Safety Glass Experts signed a service contract with Romanian safety glass producer Gerom S.A. Buzau.
| Advantages of the use of Radio Wave energy in the forming of glass and of tempering thin glass of less than 3.00mm. Some of the inherent problems in the conventional thermal tempering of thin glass are also presented.
| This information introduces the concept of thermal stress which may be induced in glass as a result of exposure to solar radiation.
| During the past 15 years tempering of bent glass has mainly changed to horizontal methods.
| The current manufacturing of tempered glass is a complex as well as time- and cost-intensive process. Not only long processing times, but also high energy costs have a significant impact.
| We are all wondering what the future will bring. How much will computers improve? Will the global economy boom or bust? Will the mankind explore the space?
| When new installations of flat tempering machines suited for architectural glass are discussed today, the option of convection technology is certain to be raised.
