The ordinary curved glass is achieved by heating the glass to softening temperature and then bending by weight or external force, followed by natural cooling.

The curved tempered glass or curved heat strengthened glass is made by fast cooling with air blowing after formation.

Shipa adopts the advanced synchronised roller way formation technology, being able to produce curved tempered glass.

Premature failure can be caused owing to any field alteration like edge grinding, sand blasting or acid etching. Tempered glass does not permit any cutting or drilling; after it has been tempered else it can lead to premature failure.

During certain lighting conditions, a visible strain pattern shows up. This is not a adefect but a part of tempering process. The phenomenon of 'iridescene' is a common characterstic in tempered glass.

Spontaneity is breaking, which is a result of impact damage, weld splatter, wind blown derbis and internal inclusion, make tempered glass more vulnerable. This vulnerability calls for having an alternative in the form of heat strengthened glass. Breakage is spontaneous.

Bow, wrap and/ or process roll distortion may evidentially be presents.
