High-temperature glass

High-temperature glass is characterized by high temperature resistance and can be used in various high temperature conditions. There are many types of high-temperature glass, and we often classify it according to its allowable working temperature. The standards are 150℃, 300℃, 400℃, 500℃, 860℃, 1200℃, etc. High temperature glass is the main component of industrial equipment windows. Through it, we can observe the operation of the materials inside the high temperature equipment.

 

Fireproof glass

Fireproof glass is a kind of architectural curtain wall glass, and there are many kinds, such as silk fireproof glass, monochrome potassium fireproof glass and composite fireproof glass. In the glass industry, fireproof glass usually means that in case of fire, it can block the flame for a certain period of time without a watch. The glass can withstand high temperature. For example, laminated fireproof glass can be used for a certain period of time. Stop the spread of flames, but after that the glass will break. , the glass will break quickly, but because the glass contains a wire mesh, it can trap and hold the broken glass as a single unit, thus effectively blocking the flames. Here, fireproof glass with wire is not a durable type of fireproof glass. There is also composite fire glass that is not temperature resistant. Monolithic potassium fire glass is a kind of fire glass with certain temperature resistance, but the temperature resistance of this glass is also relatively low, generally within 150~250℃ in the long-term temperature resistance.

 

Fireproof glass

 

From the above explanation we can understand that fireproof glass is not necessarily high-temperature glass, but high-temperature glass can definitely be used as fireproof glass. No matter which high-temperature glass product, its fireproof performance will be better than ordinary fireproof glass.

Among the high-temperature glass products, super high-temperature resistant glass has excellent fire resistance. It is a fire-resistant material that can be exposed to open fire for a long time. If used in fireproof doors and windows, the glass can maintain its integrity for a long time in case of fire. , rather than ordinary fire-resistant glass that can only withstand a certain amount of time.

 

High temperature glass is a relatively special product, its mechanical strength, transparency and chemical stability are better than ordinary fireproof glass. As the glass used in industrial equipment, we recommend the use of professional high temperature resistant glass products, rather than ordinary fireproof glass.
