Tempered Glass
Heat-Strengthened Glass is produced in a way similar to that of tempered glass except for its lower surface compression. The heat-strengthened glass is intermediate in strength between annealed and tempered glass. Upon breakage, the glass breaks into pieces that are smaller than those from annealed glass but not to the extent of ‘dicing’ up into small fragments in tempered glass.
Properties

Strength
About 2 times stronger than annealed glass.

Clarity
Less optically distorted than tempered glass as it is subjected to lower surface compression due to its lower cooling pressure.

Less Risk of Spontaneous Breakage
Less susceptible to breakages due to lower occurrence of nickel sulphide.
