Salt-Bath Furnaces for Chemical Hardening of Glass
Tmax 500 °C, tailored design possible up to Tmax 1000 °C.
Tmax 500 °C, tailored design possible up to Tmax 1000 °C.
Salt-bath furnace TS ../50 is designed especially for chemical tempering of glass in the laboratory. Chemical tempering is a process used to strengthen thin glass with wall thicknesses of just a few millimeters. The benefit of chemical pre-stressing is that the surface quality remains intact. Almost all glass with a high sodium content can be strengthened through ion exchange.
