1. The Manufacturing Process of High-Temperature Resistant Tempered Glass

 

Creating heat-resistant tempered glass for kitchen appliances involves precision engineering. Here’s a step-by-step look at Huide Glass’s advanced workflow:

 

Step 1: Precision Cutting & Edge Polishing

 

• CNC Cutting: Raw glass sheets are cut to exact dimensions using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, ensuring accuracy within ±0.5mm.

• Edge Polishing: Diamond-wheel grinders polish edges to eliminate sharpness, achieving smooth, flat, or beveled finishes for safe handling and seamless integration into appliances.

 

Step 2: High-Temperature Silk Screen Printing

 

• Design Application: Ceramic-based inks are applied using silk-screen printing to create logos, patterns, or functional indicators (e.g., heat levels, control labels).

• Curing Process: Printed glass undergoes a high-temperature curing cycle (600–700°F) to fuse the ink permanently, ensuring scratch and fade resistance.

 

Step 3: Thermal Tempering

• Heating: Glass is heated to 1,200°F (650°C) in a furnace, followed by rapid air cooling (quenching).

• Stress Testing: Post-tempering, glass achieves 4–5 times the strength of regular glass, with surface compression of 10,000+ PSI.

2. How Much Heat Can Silk-Screen Printed Tempered Glass Withstand?

 

A critical question for appliance designers is: What’s the maximum temperature tolerance of high-temperature silk-screen printed tempered glass?

 

• Continuous Heat Resistance: Huide Glass’s panels withstand temperatures up to 750°F (400°C) without warping or losing structural integrity.

• Peak Tolerance: Short-term exposure (15–30 minutes) to 900°F (480°C) is possible, ideal for self-cleaning oven cycles or grill modes.

• Certifications: Our glass complies with ASTM C1048 and EN 12150-2 standards for thermal shock resistance.

3. Key Advantages of High-Temperature Silk-Screen Printed Tempered Glass

 

1. Unmatched Thermal Stability

• Resists thermal expansion/contraction, preventing cracks even under rapid temperature changes (e.g., oven preheating).

 

2. Enhanced Safety

• Shatters into small, granular pieces (not sharp shards) if broken, minimizing injury risks.

 

3. Custom Aesthetics

• Silk-screen printing allows for full-color branding, instructional labels, or minimalist designs to match modern kitchens.

 

4. Easy Maintenance

• Smooth, non-porous surfaces resist grease, stains, and scratches. Clean with standard kitchen cleaners.

 

5. Durability

• Withstands daily wear, impacts from pots/pans, and chemical exposure from cleaning agents.

4. Applications in Kitchen Appliances

 

1. Oven & Microwave Doors

• Multi-Layered Construction: Combines heat-resistant tempered glass with low-E coatings to reflect infrared heat, improving energy efficiency.

• Viewing Windows: High-transparency glass lets users monitor cooking without opening doors, retaining heat.

 

2. Gas & Induction Cooktops

• Flame-Resistant Surfaces: Handles direct flame contact (gas stoves) or electromagnetic heat (induction cooktops).

• Integrated Controls: Silk-printed touch controls embedded into glass panels for sleek, wipeable interfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Range Hoods & Backsplashes

• Grease Resistance: Easy-to-clean surfaces ideal for high-splash zones.

• Decorative Panels: Printed patterns (geometric, floral) enhance kitchen aesthetics.

 

4. Small Appliances

• Air Fryer Windows: Compact, heat-resistant panels for monitoring cooking progress.

• Coffee Machine Drip Trays: Durable glass trays resistant to boiling water and frequent use.
