Ridhi Sidhi Heat Soaked Glass can be used in critical application areas to eliminate the risk of spontaneous breakage. Nickel Sulphate (NIS) has been known to be the cause of spontaneous burst in Tempered Glass / Toughened Glass. During tempering the invisible nickel sulphide present in the glass is transformed to the high tempered a- phase (t>380C) and has no time to return to the ß- phase on quenching. With the passage of time, it slowly inverts to the low-temperature ß- phase with the increase in the volume of about 4%. This volume expansion may cause glass breakage. The heat soak is a destructive treatment which heats the glass for several hours at about 290 degrees C to speed up the -NAS to ß – NiS transformation and consequently forces the contaminated glasses to break within the oven.

Ridhi Sidhi Ceramic Printed Glass is made by printing (Screen Printing) a layer of ceramic material on the annealed glass before tempering or heat strengthening. After tempering the layer of ceramic frit is heat bonded to the glass surface making it resistant to chipping and peeling. In addition to its decorative effects, Ridhi Sidhi Ceramic Printed glass also has outstanding mechanical features and impact resistance property as it is tempered. Colours and patterns can be customized.

Benefits

• Various Colour and Graphics Choices
• Anti-Glare, Safe and Durable
• Scratch proof and moisture resistant.

Fire resistant glass for home or business provides protection & resistance from the fire. Fire rated glasses are not meant for interiors alone. They can be used in exteriors and combined gracefully with architect’s design. Their optical transmission is same as an ordinary float glass. The strength of a fire-resistant glass is 6 times as that of an ordinary float glass and 1.5 times as that of a tempered glass. The glass can effectively prevent the spread of flame and smoke, giving people enough time to evacuate the scene and carry out relief work.

Fire-resistant glass can be used as a substrate for other glass units, such as insulated glass, laminated glass etc to obtain better performances. It is widely used in movie theatres, banks, hospitals, shopping malls, large-scale casino and server rooms etc.

Flat Glass is heated until soft, carefully formed to the desired shape and then annealed by controlled cooling to minimize trapped energy within the glass. The resulting Band annealed product offers enhanced strength and stability of minimized internal stresses. But if broken, it breaks in a traditional large fracture pattern.
