Toughening

Once glass has gone through the toughening process it is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness. When toughened glass reaches an industry standard of BS 6206. 
​Toughening glass is process of controlled thermal treatment to increase its strength. Also known as 'Tempered glass', toughened glass is made from annealed float  glass that has been heated to almost melting point and then rapidly cooled, making it stronger than the float glass.
