How Glass is Made?
Modern life just would be hard to imagine without glass. The mirror in which we brush our teeth, the windows and doors we look through, smartphones screens, the computer screens we use at work, the fiber optics infrastructure to the light bulb; glass is around us everywhere.
Glass is a mixture of sand and other minerals when melted together at very high temperatures to form a material that is ideal for a wide spectrum of use.
Glass is made by melting together several minerals at very high temperatures. Silica from sand is the main ingredient and this is combined with soda ash and limestone and melted in a furnace at temperatures of 1800°C. Numerous other minerals can be added to produce different colors and properties. Glass can also be coated, toughened, engraved or decorated.
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled an infinite number of times without quality, strength and/or functionality degradation.
