Glass is manufactured by heating sand and other substances to an extremely high temperature. At this point, the mixture becomes a liquid. the glass is then molded into the desired shape and cooled so it hardens into smooth glass.

Why is some glass fragile and some strong?

Glass strength is determined by the way it is manufactured. Tempered glass, for example, is stronger than regular glass because it undergoes a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling. The cooling process compresses the outer surface, giving it increased tensile strength and making it more resistant to breakage.

Can toughened and laminated glass have waves?

The quick and short answer to this question is "yes". It's all based on how well the glass is manufactured. There is a large amount of heat used during the manufacturing process of laminated or toughened glass which temporarily weakens it. The glass is heated to a melting point for which it can be reshaped and then cooled quickly to hold the new shape. It is during this process that the laminated glass is at its' most vulnerable point and needs to be handled with precision until it has cooled. Improper alignment of the rollers which are used during the reshaping and cooling process are generally the cause of these small waves or lines in the glass. These waves and lines are not indicative of poor quality and are not considered defects in the glass. However, if the waves are so apparent that images appear overly distorted then a new replacement glass should be requested.This post was made by www.autoglasslocator.com
