Many buyers confuse semi-tempered glass with tempered glass, leading to issues such as insufficient strength or the risk of spontaneous breakage after purchase. Semi-tempered glass is 1.5 to 2 times stronger than ordinary glass, and when it breaks, it shatters into large, manageable pieces—eliminating the risk of spontaneous explosions. It’s ideal for applications like curtain walls and partitions where mandatory safety certification isn’t required.

The main pain points in procurement center around two key issues: First, some suppliers falsely claim ordinary glass is actually semi-tempered—this can be easily identified by checking the product certificate of conformity and the surface stress test report. Second, there are discrepancies in custom specifications; therefore, it’s essential to confirm processing accuracy with the manufacturer in advance, particularly regarding edge finishing and dimensional tolerances.
