Tempered (toughened) safety glass is thermally processed to surface compressive stress of 90 N/mm2 or higher, making it 4-5 times stronger than annealed glass. When broken it shatters into small granular fragments, reducing laceration risk. Meets MS 1872 / BS EN 12150-1. Malaysian building code requires tempered glass for shower screens, glass doors, low-level glazing, and balustrades. 10 mm is the most common shopfront and frameless glass door thickness. Custom fabricated to order -- cannot be cut or drilled after tempering. Sold per m2. Also called kaca temper or kaca keras. HS 7007.199000, import duty 30%, SST 10%.

Laminated safety glass bonds two glass plies with a PVB interlayer; when broken, the PVB retains fragments in place, preventing laceration. 6.38 mm construction (3 mm + 0.38 mm PVB + 3 mm) is the lightest standard build. Meets MS 1872 / BS EN ISO 12543. Mandatory under Malaysian building code for overhead glazing and skylights, inclined facades over 10 degrees, and hurricane-resistant glazing. Heavier builds -- 8.38 mm and 10.38 mm -- used for acoustic and security applications. Custom fabricated. Sold per m2. Also called kaca berlaminat or laminated glass.
