About glass; safety glass, toughened (tempered), (not of a size and shape suitable for incorporation in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft or vessels)

HS code 700719 covers toughened (tempered) safety glass that is not suitable for use in vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or vessels. This type of glass is widely used in a variety of applications, including construction, furniture, and home appliances, where its enhanced strength and safety properties are highly valued. As a key component in many industries, the production and trade of this specialized glass product plays an important role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of toughened (tempered) safety glass involves a process of controlled thermal or chemical treatment. The glass is first cut to the desired size and shape, then subjected to intense heating and rapid cooling, or a chemical strengthening process. This treatment increases the glass's resistance to breakage and impact, making it a safer alternative to standard annealed glass.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 700719 glass include high-quality raw materials such as 2505 Silica sand, 2807 Sulphuric acid, and 2810 Oxides of boron, boric acids. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as tempering furnaces and cutting tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 700719 is toughened (tempered) safety glass, which is used in a wide range of applications, including 7010 Carboys, bottles, flasks, jars, pots, phials, ampoules and other containers, of glass, 7013 (Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes (other than heading 70.10 or 70.18)), and 7016 Paving blocks, slabs, bricks, squares, tiles and other articles of pressed or moulded glass, whether or not wired, of a kind used for building or construction purposes; glass cubes and other glass smallwares, whether or not on a backing, for mosaics or similar decorative purposes; leaded lights and the like; multicellular or foam glass in blocks, panels, plates, shells or similar forms. This specialized glass product is valued for its enhanced safety and durability, making it a crucial component in various industries.
