Aluminous porcelain. Porcelain is a glass product with a crystalline internal structure. In the case of porcelain used in sinks and toilets, the crystalline inclusions are mostly aluminum oxide which makes the glass tough and difficult to break. It also makes the porcelain opaque. Aluminum oxide is also used in the formulation of the glass matrix as a stabilizer. In this form, the aluminum oxide does not affect the translucency of the glass, but, rather makes it stronger and reduces the solubility of the glass.
Coffee mugs are usually made of ceramic earthenware materials instead of glass, because materials such as porcelain retain heat better than glass. If glass gets too hot, it will shatter.
Basically, the structural integrity of glass is compromised as the silicate molecules change their excitability. The whole of the glass piece cannot remain in the form as it is because it is either rapidly expanding or contracting.
I haven't seen a good epoxy that's thin enough for fine porcelain. I DO get good results from Elmer's China and Glass cement.
The reason why you hide during an earthquake is because the movement of the earth can cause glass to shatter, and large objects to fall. If you hide (say under a desk or a door way) you are able to protect yourself from falling debra and shattering glass
The loud noise from the crash caused the glass to shatter into a million pieces.
The ability of a singer to shatter a glass is a result of the control that they have in frequency. These singers can control high frequencies well enough to focus them to shatter the glass.
Sometimes a glass is tuned to a certain frequency or note. If a person hits that note, the glass will shatter.
If you drop the glass, it will shatter. The mirror was going to shatter when it hit the floor after falling from the table.
If it is regular glass then it will probably shatter it. If it is Plexiglas or another form of reinforced glass it may not shatter it.
Don't drop it; it will shatter into a million pieces! I dropped my glass on the kitchen floor and was lucky it did not shatter.
Most vehicles have safety glass installed in the windows. This glass is meant to shatter into gummy squares that are less dangerous then the sharp shards that regular glass becomes.
it will shatter
You can always use tempered glass that's shatter resistant and should be kid-resistant as well.
The Grand Estate collection is not made of temper glass and is not shatter safe.
Since its less dense than normal glass, it will shatter or crack easily. If you put it in the oven more than 5 or 6 times it might shatter due to the heat.
