Soda-lime glasses composition

The first glasses were made by mixing silica-rich sand with alkali-rich plant ashes or naturally occurring alkali-rich minerals, along with some lime, either as natural material in the sand or as deliberately added limestone. Thus a lot of early glass has compositions a lot like that of obsidian, i.e., about 70% silica, 15% Na O-i-K O, and 10% CaO-i-MgO. Most glass produced today still has this basic soda-lime composition. [Pg.60]

By far the highest glass volume produced is for windows and containers. The base glass is a soda-lime composition, which may be modified for special applications. Owing to the Fe content of the natural raw materials, a green tint is observed for thicknesses that are not too small. [Pg.528]
