Due to its high impact resistance and safety, explosion-proof glass is suitable for use in buildings, including ceilings, shower rooms, floors, partitions, skylights in industrial plants, shop windows, kindergartens, schools, stadiums, private residences, villas, mental hospitals, banks, jewelry stores, securities companies, insurance companies, post offices, museums, and prisons.
Explosion-proof glass is also frequently used in public facilities such as airports, hotels, and government office buildings, or in areas prone to accidents (such as floor-to-ceiling windows and commercial/residential buildings).
This product also has wide applications in military and high-tech industries, such as in spacecraft, military instruments, solar cells and solar receivers, and in industrial applications such as composite shock-absorbing steel plates and mining explosion-proof glass.
Some people in the market include wired glass in the category of explosion-proof glass. Wired glass is made by inserting iron/steel wire into the middle of the glass before it is formed into ordinary glass. Wired glass is not strengthened and cannot withstand heavy impacts; its strength is no different from ordinary glass. Therefore, it cannot be considered true "explosion-proof glass."
However, if two pieces of wired glass are laminated together with a PVB film, it can be called explosion-proof glass, although its explosion-proof effect is inferior to that of explosion-proof glass made from reinforced glass.
Additionally, some people refer to explosion-proof glass as high-pressure resistant glass, mainly because both types of glass have the ability to withstand a certain amount of pressure. It is essential to check the environmental requirements for the glass before purchasing.
