Chemical Industry Updates

  Glass is a hard, brittle, non-crystalline, amorphous solid that is transparent and has wide applications in construction, automotive, electronics, solar and others. Heat treated glass are processed at higher temperatures to enhance the physical properties and change the microstructure of glass without altering its optical properties. They exhibit properties like low-emissivity, high-impact resistance and offer self-cleaning benefits. Heat treated glasses have higher mechanical strength and scratch resistance. The global Heat Treated Glass Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 474.5 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. Market key trends: The increasing application of heat treated glass in construction industry is the major trend that is accelerating the market growth. These glasses are extensively used in architectural applications to provide energy effi...

  Market Overview: Heat treated glass undergoes thermal or chemical treatments to introduce controlled and permanent changes in its mechanical and optical properties.
