Tempered glass is made by heating flat glass to just below its softening temperature and suddenly chilling it with jets of cold air. It results the outer skins under powerful compressive stress and the interior with severe tensile stress. In consequence, the impact applied to the glass will be overcome by the compression stress on the surfaces to assure safety of use.

Tempered safety glass has a much higher thermal shock resistance than float glass. Tempered safety glass can resist a thermal shock of as much as 150K, whereas float glass can only withstand thermal shock of 40K. Tempered safety glass is considered safety glass, however, primarily due to the way it breaks. Because it is in state of internal tension, when it breaks it shatters suddenly into small fragments with blunt edges, which considerably reduce the risk of severe injury.
