GLASS ELEMENT WITH LOW PROBABILITY OF BREAKAGE

摘要

The object of the invention is to provide a glass element comprising a thin glass that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular has a low possibility of breakage as a result of delayed crack propagation. Provided for this purpose is a glass element, comprising a thin glass of a thickness of less than 1.2 mm, with a first surface and a second surface. The two surfaces are connected to one another by at least two parallel-running edges. A polymer coating is provided on at least the two parallel-running edges, wherein the polymer coating is selected from the group of self-healing plastics and the probability of breakage of the glass element over a time of greater than six months under a maximum tensile stress of greater than or equal to 21 MPa is characterized by a maximum breakage rate of less than or equal to 10%.
