How to Break SD-70 Tempered Glass

Used in countless vehicular, household and industrial applications, the overall design of SD-70 tempered glass keeps the relative safety of the users in mind. Unlike ordinary glass, tempered glass breaks into small pieces, leaving behind a pile of crumbled glass fragments instead of the large shards left behind by ordinary glass. This makes the disposal of tempered glass much easier for those wanting to get rid of the unwanted or damaged specimen. Disposers should take caution to avoid receiving cuts or other injuries during this process.
