Is the glass stage on the stage using tempered glass, or plexiglass?
Is the glass stage on the stage using tempered glass, or plexiglass? How thick should I use? This problem has been troubling stage users, first introduce the characteristics of tempered glass and plexiglass differences:
Tempered glass is also known as reinforced glass. Is the ordinary glass heated to the softening point and after quenching treatment of glass, its surface has a strong uniform compressive stress and mechanical strength multiplied, compared with the same thickness of ordinary glass, tempered glass resistance to bending, impact resistance, three to five times, three times the ability to resist dramatic temperature difference.
The safety of tempered glass is good, and it is granular after breaking, so as to avoid possible harm to the human body. It is widely used in high-rise building curtain wall, indoor glass partition, elevator handrail and other occasions requiring safety.
Tempered glass features: Safety: The glass is broken into small obtuse particles similar to honeycomb, which will not cause major harm to the human body. Bending strength: The bending strength of tempered glass is generally 3-5 times that of ordinary glass. Deflection: 3-4 times larger than ordinary glass. Thermal stability: tempered glass has good thermal stability and can withstand temperature mutations in the range of 250-300 ° C, while the general thickness of glass can only withstand 70-100 ° C.
The disadvantage of tempered glass stage is relatively heavy, the use of tempered glass is not suitable for the use of 18MM thick, generally 15MM or 12MM is enough to meet the load-bearing requirements of the performance, too thick will only increase the burden of transportation and manual handling. And requires the use of laminated glass, not laminated is not suitable for the stage.
