Within the broader category of industrial and specialty gases, the industrial gases for the glass industry represent a specialized segment. Such gases are integral to various processes in glass manufacturing, including oxygen and nitrogen used in glass melting furnaces to enhance combustion and control temperature, thereby improving the energy efficiency and quality of the glass products. Argon and other noble gases may be used in the production of insulated glazing to provide thermal efficiency. Hydrogen and other specialty gas mixtures can also be employed in specific glass-making processes, such as glass coating and glass polishing, where they contribute to the final product's quality and performance.
The supply chain for these gases often includes on-site production, the use of bulk liquid deliveries, and cylinder and packaged gas supply, depending on the volume of gases required and the scale of the glass production facilities. Services and technologies provided alongside these gases include expert consultancy, process optimization, and advanced glass furnace technologies developed to meet the stringent environmental standards and the high-quality demands of the glass industry.
Notable companies operating in the market for industrial gases intended for the glass industry include Air Liquide, Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Messer Group, and Praxair Technology, Inc. Each of these companies provides a range of products and services geared toward improving efficiency, reducing emissions, and enhancing the overall production quality in glass manufacturing facilities.
