At T Grup Cam, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional glass quality that meets the high expectations of our clients across architectural, automotive, marine, and high-performance design industries. Our chemical toughening technology offers a premium solution for projects that demand superior optical clarity, strength, and reliability beyond the capabilities of traditional thermal toughening.
Unlike thermally toughened glass, which may show distortions, local shading, or color variations, our chemically toughened glass maintains perfect visual consistency—ideal for applications where optical perfection is non-negotiable.
Chemical toughening is an advanced glass strengthening process based on ion exchange, enhancing both the surface strength and thermal resistance of the glass without altering its appearance. This makes it ideal for aesthetic architectural applications, electronic displays, and specialized glazing systems.
How It Works
Preparation – The glass is meticulously cleaned to ensure an uncontaminated surface.
Ion Exchange – Glass is immersed in a high-purity potassium nitrate (KNO₃) bath at 380–450°C.
Smaller sodium ions (Na⁺) in the glass surface are replaced by larger potassium ions (K⁺).
This exchange creates compressive stress on the surface layer, increasing strength.
Stress Layer Formation – The ion exchange forms a toughened layer up to 100 microns deep, greatly enhancing resistance to cracking and impact.
Controlled Cooling – The glass is gradually cooled to maintain the integrity of the stress layer.
Final Inspection – Each pane unde
✅ Superior Optical Clarity – No warping, color change, or roller wave distortions like in thermal toughening.
✅ Enhanced Surface Strength – Greater resistance to scratching, impact, and mechanical stress.
✅ Improved Thermal Shock Resistance – Ideal for environments with temperature fluctuations.
✅ Safety Advantage – Breaks into less hazardous, granular fragments.
✅ Perfect for Thin & Specialty Glass – Enables toughening of glass as thin as 2 mm, which is not possible with thermal processes.
We proudly offer chemical toughening as a personalized service for customer-owned glass (COG). Our in-house state-of-the-art chemical bath system can accommodate glass sizes up to 8.00 x 3.21 meters, making us one of the few providers in the region capable of handling large-format and specialty glass with world-class precision.
