All About Glass
Modern life is infused with glass. From the jar that holds the morning marmalade, the mirror on the wall, windows and car windshields, electric stovetops, computer screens, smart phones and tablets, light bulbs, the communications infrastructure – glass is around us everywhere.
Glass is a combination of sand and other minerals that are melted together at very high temperatures to form a material that is ideal for a wide range of uses from packaging and construction to fiber optics. A form of glass occurs naturally within the mouth of a volcano when the intense heat of an eruption melts sand to form Obsidian, a hard black glassy type of stone. Today the glass-making process has been mastered and many different types of glass of various colors, shapes, finishes, chemical compositions, etc. are formed into a wide range of products.
Glass flows like a liquid at room temperature but the flow rate is so slow that it looks and feels like a solid. At higher temperatures glass gradually becomes softer and more like a liquid. It is this latter property which allows glass to be poured, blown, pressed and molded into an infinite variety of shapes.
Glass is made by melting together several minerals at very high temperatures. Silica in the form of sand is the main ingredient and this is combined with soda ash and limestone and melted in a furnace at temperatures of 1700°C. Other materials can be added to produce different colors or properties. Glass can also be coated, heat-treated, engraved or decorated. Whilst still molten, glass can be manipulated to form packaging, car windshields, glazing or numerous other products. Depending on the end use, the composition of the glass and the rate at which it is allowed to cool will vary, as these two factors are crucial in obtaining the properties the glassmaker is seeking to achieve.

Glasses may be devised to meet almost any imaginable requirement – there are many different types of glass with different chemical and physical properties and each can be made by a suitable adjustment to chemical compositions. For many specialized applications in chemistry, pharmacy, the electrical and electronics industries, optics, the construction and lighting industries, glass, or the comparatively new family of materials known as glass ceramics, may be the only practical material for the engineer to use.
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled an infinite number of times without quality, strength and/or functional degradation.
