Shatterproof glass is a specially crafted material designed to withstand impact, preventing the glass from breaking into sharp, dangerous shards. This type of glass is often created through a process called tempering, where the glass is heated and then rapidly cooled. This process strengthens the glass, allowing it to absorb shocks better than standard glass. Additionally, shatterproof glass can sometimes be combined with other materials, such as polymers, to enhance its durability and resistance to shattering.
