Do you know what is impact resistance? 

It refers to the material’s durability to withstand intense force or shock applied to it. It’s an improtant indication of the material’s life under a certain environment conditions and temperatures.

For the impact resistance of glass panel, there is a IK degree to define its external mechanical impacts. 

This is the formula to calculate the Impact J is E=mgh

E – the impact resistance; Unit J (N*m)

m – the weight of stell ball; Unit kg

g – the gravity acceleration constant; Unit 9.8m/s²

h – the height when drop; Unit m

For the glass panel with thickness ≥3mm can pass IK07 which is E=2.2J. 

That is: 225g steel ball drop from 100cm height to the glass surface without any damages.
