The reasons and preventive measures for the self explosion of tempered glass in shower rooms are as follows:

1、 Reasons for self explosion

Nickel sulfide impurity expansion: Nickel sulfide (NiS) contained in glass raw materials undergoes phase transition when temperature changes, and volume expansion causes internal stress imbalance, which is the main cause;

Uneven stress distribution: During the manufacturing or installation process, uneven heating of the glass, deformation of the frame, or excessive tightening of screws can lead to local stress concentration;

External temperature difference impact: The sudden cooling and heating environment causes thermal stress inside the glass, which will self destruct when exceeding the bearing limit;

External damage: Hard objects hitting corners or surface scratches weaken the strength of glass and increase the risk of breakage.

2、 Preventive measures

Select high-quality products: choose laminated tempered glass with 3C certification, which is not easy to splash after fragmentation;

Standardized installation process: Installed by professional personnel to ensure that there is a buffer gap reserved between the frame and the glass, and to avoid screws being too tight;

Adding explosion-proof film: The surface film can adhere to fragments and reduce explosion damage;

Control temperature difference impact: Preheat the glass with warm water before showering to avoid direct impact of hot water on the surface of cold glass;

Daily maintenance points: Avoid hard objects hitting the edges and corners, use a soft cloth for cleaning, and regularly check the stability of hinges and frames.

By optimizing materials, improving processes, and standardizing usage, the probability and harm of self explosion can be significantly reduced.
