What Is Tempered Glass? How Does It Break?

The video discusses different types of glass, focusing on tempered and laminated glass. Tempered glass is stronger and breaks into small, interlocking pieces due to its manufacturing process involving rapid cooling. Laminated glass, used in windshields, consists of layers bonded with plastic, preventing shattered pieces from falling out. Both types have unique properties and applications, such as in automobiles and buildings, depending on strength and safety requirements.
