Gorilla Glass is a type of toughened glass created by Corning Inc. Glass is an amorphous solid material that is usually see-through. It is created out of the chemical compound silica, which is found in abundance in the sand. The process of creating toughened glass includes treating a sheet of glass with chemical baths at high temperatures. This increases the compressive residual stress of the glass which means that the glass is less likely to scratch or damage. Gorilla Glass is created by submerging the glass in a molten alkaline salt bath using ion exchange.

Whereas normal glass is quite prone to scratches, and more importantly to breakage. Gorilla glass is harder, while also being much thinner than typical glass. This glass is also less likely to damage, break or shatter.

Due to the crack-resistant nature of the glass, it is used as the top covering on the display screen of electronics such as smartphones, DVD players, mobile gaming consoles, MP3 players, etc. Gorilla glass is a toughened and tempered glass whereas normal glass is amorphous solid material.
