Part 5/10:
Over time, the nickel sulfide expands, creating micro cracks that can cause the glass to shatter spontaneously without warning. This phenomenon, called spontaneous breakage, is rare but potentially deadly, especially in large glass panels or safety barriers.
Manufacturing Quality Control
To prevent such failures, manufacturers keep strict records of glass batches, inspect for micro cracks, and monitor the source materials. Nonetheless, imperfections can still escape detection, underscoring that no glass is 100% risk-free.
