2. Application technical notes

• SECURIT-H is manufactured as Fully Tempered safety glass with a Heat Soak Test as standard acc. to EN 14179-1.
   
• Specific national, regional or local codes and/or standards for application of enameled glass can differ significantly. The purchaser is responsible for the prevailing requirements.
   
• The thermal tempering implies that subsequent work such as cutting, grinding, or drilling etc. may not be carried out on the glass. These operations will certainly cause breakage or significant weakening of the material characteristics!
  All additional work to the glass must therefore be carried out prior to the tempering process.
   
• Moisture uniformity on the glass surface
  The surface moisture uniformity on the outside of the glass may vary e.g. due to imprints from rollers, fingers, labels, paper residue, suction pads, sealant residue, smoothing agents, separation agents or environmental influences. Moisture on the glass surface as a result of condensation, rain or cleaning water may have differing levels of uniformity. Such appearances are inherent characteristics and cannot be considered as defects.
   
• Anisotrophy
  Irrisation occurrences in thermally treated glass.
  In viewing the Fully Tempered safety glass under certain light conditions and polarised it is possible that a pattern in the glass becomes visible. This is Anisotrophy or so called polarisation fields. This is a physical phenomenon and a normal characteristic of FT glass.

3. Finishing

3.1 Edge working

SECURIT-H is manufactured with an arrissed edge as standard. Sizes greater than 2140 x 2140 mm can only have their edges ground or polished.

3.2 Drilled holes

up to 12 mm Glass thickness
The hole diameter (D) must not be less than the glass thickness (S).

Glass thickness 15 and 19 mm
Hole diameter at least 18 resp. 25 mm

Production restrictions on hole locations apply.

4. Marking

Visible Quality stamp SECURIT-H

Each sheet of glass receives a quality stamp (indicator paint) in the corner of its leading edge. This patented indicator paint proves that the glass has gone through the HST process. Before the Heat-Soak-Test each glass edge receives a dash of special blue paint which under the test conditions – minimum of four hours heat-soaking at approx. 280 °C – turns beige-brown. This proves that the marked unit has really undergone the test. This facilitates a loophole-free control of every sheet of glass even prior to installation in the facade.

In accordance with EN 14179, all EMALIT-H glass is visibly and permanently marked.
