RE: Glass is not only material it is also science

in Creative Coin3 years ago

I agree with you, the glass industry is a vast field and a science in itself
Let me just add these raw materials to the ingredients you mentioned in your article:
Sodium oxide:
It lowers the melting point and helps form glass
Borax:
It is a substance that contains sodium oxide (Na2O) and boron oxide (B2O3), and it works to reduce the coefficient of expansion of glass, and glass that contains a large percentage of boron oxide is characterized by that it does not break when exposed to sudden heat.

Sort:  

Extraordinary way to help me expand the content, thank you for that. I am a lover of glass, and certainly behind every sheet of glass hides a vast field of scientific knowledge, with the help of experimentation can access the new fundamentals around the glass.
