Safety glass for ground transport

Production of the flat hardened safety glass (stalinite) is based on special thermal treatment, consisting in hardening the sheet glass by heating it in hardening the sheet glass by heating it in electrical furnace up to the softening temperature with the subsequent abrupt cooling with cold air at a definite pressure in the blowing grate. Set up in the hardened glass are uniformly distributed stresses which impart enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability. When broken, the stalinite is disintegrated into small-size fragments with dull edges which cannot be responsible for wound, bruise or cut.

Stalinite is employed for glazing the ground transport vehicles, tractors, agricultural and hoisting machinery used in the national economy in all climatic zones of our country. Stalinite is made of colourless polished, non-polished and heat absorbing (tined) glass. Stalinite is available of the high and first and second grade class. The articles of the high and first grades are intended for application in ground transport. Stalinite has a uniform thickness. The difference in the thickness of articles of the first-and –second grade polished glass is not in excess of 0.3mm, while that of the non-polished one is 0.4 mm. when shattered by a pointed tool, the articles disintegrate into not less than 40 fragments in any square measuring 50×50 mm and not less than 160 fragments in a square of 100×100 mm. Stalinite meets the world standards with respect to its technical level and quality.

Slag glass-ceramic

Slag glass-ceramic is a modern highly durable and decorative material suitable for arranging external and internal walls of buildings and structures, lining for protecting against dry and hydroabrasive wear of diverse surfaces in technology. Slag glass-ceramic has no foreign analogs as it was developed in our country and is not manufactured in other countries. Slag glass-ceramic is a glass ceramic material of a fine-grain structure produced by means of oriented crystallization of glass on the basis of blast-furnace slag.

Low-cost starting material, highly mechanized method of production along with high performance render the slag glass-ceramic competitive with respect to traditional materials in similar application. Slag glass-ceramic is a chemically stable wear-resistant waterproof material featuring high mechanical strength and hardness. It has practically unlimited service life, since its properties do not change over time. The high resistance to the effect of abrasive and corrosive media makes it possible to efficiently use slag glass-ceramic in lining the hoppers, troughs, chutes, flotation machine housings, funnels, classifiers, chemical apparatus, gas ducts, as well as of inclined flyovers and other structures in mineral concentration, chemical, electrical engineering, metallurgical, power and other industries and in agriculture. The structures fabricated with the use of slag glass-ceramic meet the stringent sanitary requirements.
