A more professional netizen left a message: The self-explosion of tempered glass belongs to the hidden danger of glass tempering, and it does exist. If you want to avoid such a risk, you can apply a film. The common double-layer glass, that is, to prevent scattering after explosion, two pieces of tempered glass are pasted with a special explosion-proof film in the middle, that is, one piece of explosion, the other piece of support will not fall, and it is not easy to hurt people, and the viaduct is this process. The other is a single-layer surface film, which is not so durable, but it is still possible to prevent explosions from smashing people.
