The process consists of strengthening the glass by very fast blast cooling (from 600 to 300° C in a few seconds) and is used to make automotive, building, and specialty flat glass. Raw glass can be clear or tinted in various shades. Did you know? The density of Glass is about 2 500 kg/m3 Discover other astonishing properties of the glass Laminated In 1909, the French chemist Edouard Benedictus, invented laminated glass. The process bonds two sheets of glass using a sheet of transparent plastic interlayer, producing a safety glass. If the glass is broken by an impact, the plastic interlayer retains the fragments and the glass cracks in the shape of a spider's web.
