What is 8mm hot bending glass? 

8mm hot bending glass is from 8mm flat glass heated until red hot and soften, carefully formed to the desired shape by mold, then heat-strengthened by forced cooling to store moderate energy within the glass. The bent glass offers generally a twofold increase in strength compared to 8mm annealed glass of the same thickness, but if broken, hot bending glass breaks into fragments that are somewhat larger and more sharp than curved tempered glass. So hot bending glass is not safety glass.
