Why is the safety of shower enclosures important?

There are several categories of glass for the production of simple shower enclosures, ordinary glass, that is, non-tempered glass. Ordinary glass has the shortcomings of high brittleness, brittleness, poor permeability, miscellaneous spots, and weak compressive strength. Once the glass is broken, the glass fragments are large and sharp, which will cause great harm in direct contact with the human body. security risks.

Due to the inescapable drawbacks of tempered glass, this has promoted people's demand for the consumption of safer glass simple shower rooms. The appearance of laminated glass simple shower rooms has given people a new understanding of the safety of simple shower base. . Laminated glass is by far considered the safest glass for producing shower enclosures. The impact resistance and compressive strength of laminated glass are both 5 times that of tempered glass. Even if the glass is broken, the fragments of single or double glass will be tightly adhered to the pvb film in the laminated safety glass, and the whole broken glass will stand. In situ, the broken glass surface remains clean and smooth, will not move, will not fall off and scatter on the ground, and will not cause harm to people or surrounding objects.

With the development of simple shower room in the 21st century, tempered glass is widely used in the market, bringing people safer simple shower room products. Tempered glass has strong impact strength, high and low temperature resistance, and its compressive strength is five times higher than that of ordinary glass. However, tempered glass may still burst automatically without direct mechanical external force, which is the self-explosion of tempered glass that consumers are worried about. Self-explosion is one of the inherent characteristics of tempered glass. Although the proportion is only less than 3/1000, even if high-quality tempered glass is used, the possibility of self-explosion cannot be ruled out in theory, causing certain safety hazards to users.

Nowadays, the national standard requires that the glass of the simple shower room must be tempered glass, which has high purity and high safety factor. The national standard requires that the tempered glass with a thickness of 6 to 10 mm should have a safe breaking amount of more than 40 pieces per 50 × 50 mm area. . This also exposes the characteristics and disadvantages of glass itself. For various reasons, once the tempered glass is broken, its glass fragments will still threaten the safety of the human body. Of course, tempered safety glass still belongs to the scope of safety glass, which meets the requirements of China and other developed countries.
