SSG® DuraGlas-HS breaks into larger pieces and does not crumble into smaller fragments like its tempered counterparts. It allows the glass to remain in the frame as the weight of the broken glass is supported by neighbouring pieces on all four sides. In addition, spontaneous breakage due to nickel sulphide formation is almost non-existent in SSG® DuraGlas-HS. These features make SSG® DuraGlas-HS a good option for building façades and windows.
