Glass and rearview mirror
Overview
1. The automotive glass is an essential part of the body accessories, to play mainly a protective role. At
present, the automotive glass is based on laminated tempered glass and laminated local tempered glass,
to withstand a strong impact. The Tempered glass refers to that the ordinary glass is quenched to form certain
inner stress in the inner structure, so as to increase the strength; in case of impact breakage, the glass can be
broken into small pieces with blunt edges, so as to avoid any injury. A good automotive glass gives the driver
a clearer view, and the side glass is secured into the frame with adhesive, which can provide a better glass
retention and increase the frame strength.
2. The automobile rearview mirror is an active automobile safety device, and a mandatory test item specified
in the national standards, its indexes must meet the requirements specified in the national standards, to ensure
that the driver can observe clearly and effectively the views and abnormities on both sides and at rear of the
vehicles from the rear-view mirrors, so as to reduce accident hiddens.
