Plexiglass ; tempered glass ; slicing process
Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) purposes, it is critical to consider the specific context in which the tempered glass is used. Ensure the dataset reflects the geographical location and the technological relevance of your scenario. Take into account the water usage in the wet grinding process, which may require allocation of environmental impacts in areas with water scarcity. Assess the energy requirements and related emissions for the slicing process and review end-of-life scenarios where tempered glass recycling might affect the overall environmental impact.
Technical purpose of product or process The tempered glass manufacturing process entails cutting the glass to size, which is an essential step in producing various glass products. This slice process specifically involves wet grinding with water, a technique used to ensure the smooth edges and high-quality finish necessary for tempered glass applications requiring safety, durability, and optical clarity, such as in automotive windows, architectural glazing, and electronic devices.
