2. Impact resistance: When compared with float glass, the impact resistance is very high & this helps withstand extreme temperatures & conditions.

3. Strength: Can be 3 to 7 times stronger than annealed glass, making it worthy of more demanding applications with high environmental loads.

4. Thermal resistance: Can resist high temperatures without breaking

5. Crystal Clear: The glass is transparent and clear in its look.
