Tougher than ordinary annealed glass, tempered glass is processed by heating glass in a furnace close to its softening point of 650 to 700 degrees Centigrade and then quenching it by a uniform blast of high pressure compressed air. Tempered glass has bending and impact strengths which are three to five times higher than those of annealed glass of the same thickness.
