The windshield glass that is in most modern automobiles is high optical clarity (purity) Silica Glass. Companies that produce this Glass (Safelite for example) assemble the sheet glass into a composite unit consisting of a sandwich of ultra clear plastic or tinted plastic in between two sheets of tempered glass. Tempering causes the glass to shatter into small pieces rather than into large sharp chunks when it breaks.
