What is Nickel Sulphide? (NiS)
Nickel Sulphide (NiS) is a contaminant that can be found in glass and can lead to spontaneous glass failure.Generally only tempered (toughened) glass will contain this as a potential risk.
A Nickel Sulphide inclusion in the glass structure can change state at an unspecified point causing total failure of a pane. Considerations for owners and tenants of a building that may contain Nickel Sulphide:
- Public safety
- Workplace Health and Safety
- Tenant issues
- Media interest
- Insurance and litigation
- Building’s value
