Notes:
Axi Tough toughened glass is a superior A grade safety glass manufactured in accordance with Australian standard AS/NZS2208. Axi Tough is manufactured by a process of heating the glass to in excess of 600°C and rapidly cooled by an extensive air treatment system. This results in the glass having strength nearly five times that of float glass.
Some Applications of use in accordance with current BCA requirements are:
Glass Balustrade, Glass Shopfronts, Pool Fencing, Shower screens, Windows and many other applications worldwide.
Toughened glass allows for large clear spans of glass with minimum fixings. Axi Tough can withstand temperature variations of 250°C in a range of -70°C to +300°C, this basically means that toughened glass can be used in appliances, splashbacks and where thermal stress breakage is going to be an issue.
Axiom advises Heat soaking to be used in accordance with AS1288. Heat soaking reduces the risk of breakages by up to 95% as a result of including Nickel Sulphide in the process.
All monolithic toughened glass and heat strengthened glass (with a surface compression greater than 52MPa) is required to be heat soaked and marked in accordance with European Standard EN14179-1 unless exempt under AS1288-2006 clause 3.8.
It is a responsibility of the Customer to identify individual requirements and to advise Axiom in writing if glass to be supplied is required to be heat soaked.
