Five Essential Tips for Daily Maintenance of Vacuum Glass

  1. After the installation of vacuum glass is complete, avoid any back-and-forth movement that could cause air leakage at the edges of the vacuum glass.

  2. Be cautious not to subject tempered vacuum glass to sustained pressure. For instance, dining tables and coffee tables in some households have tempered glass tops, which are subject to pressure. The pressure resistance of tempered glass typically ranges from 70 MPa to 100 MPa. The maximum pressure it can withstand is calculated by multiplying the pressure by the area over which the force is applied. The weight of the object that can be safely placed on the glass is calculated as (Pressure × Area) / 10.

  3. Be mindful to avoid contact with alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). Glass is essentially silicon dioxide (SiO2), and it can react chemically with the aforementioned substances.

  4. Be cautious of uneven temperature changes. As mentioned earlier, the internal stress points of tempered vacuum glass are concentrated at the edges. If a piece of glass is subjected to extreme temperatures at both ends, such as high heat on one end and cold on the other, there is a high risk of the glass shattering. For example, pouring cold water on a lit incandescent light bulb can cause the glass to break. Although this scenario is rare for tempered glass, it's better to be safe than sorry.

  5. Avoid striking the vacuum glass with sharp or hard objects forcefully.
