Results for tag: "Glass Additives"

Glass additives are materials added to glass during its production to modify its properties. These additives can be used to improve the strength, durability, and optical properties of the glass. Common additives include silica, alumina, and boron oxide, which are used to increase the glass’s strength and thermal stability. Other additives, such as titanium dioxide, can be used to improve the glass’s optical properties, such as its color and light transmission. Additionally, some additives are used to reduce the cost of production, such as calcium carbonate, which can be used to reduce the amount of silica needed. Some of the major companies in the glass additives market include BASF, Dow Corning, Evonik Industries, Ferro Corporation, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
