ArcTuff is a thermally tempered glass product for use in all glazed openings where mandatory use of safety glass is required. ArcTuff is produced on the most modern horizontal roller-type of furnace equipment and fully conforms to European Standards EN 12150 and EN 12600 as well as American Standards ASTM C 1048 and ANZI Z97 -1. Breakage of ArcTuff FT glass will occur when the deflection exceeds the capacity of the compressive envelope to resist the tensile force in the central body of the pane. Alternatively, if hit by a sharp or very hard object on the surface or at the extreme edge of the glass, causing penetration to the tensile zone, the sudden explosive release of latent energy will cause total disintegration of the glass into small fragments with “dulled” edges which are non-injurious. This important feature of ArcTuff FT glass means that it is considered by all international safety standards, including EN 12600 and ANSI Z97-1, as a “true safety glass “ for use in all glazing situations where impact-resistance and thermal safety are required. ArcTuff FT glass is manufactured in full compliance with current EN 12150 and ASTM C 1048 standards in terms of Tolerance, Squareness, Optical Distortion and Overall Bow.
