clear float glass

Clear float glass
Float glass is made by melting raw materials, consisting of sand, soda ash (sodium carbonate), dolomite, limestone, and salt cake (sodium sulphate). The raw materials, referred to as batch, are mixed and into a furnace at 1500°C then blend together to form a large pool of molten glass. The molten glass is fed into a bath of molten tin through a delivery canal. The glass flows out to the tin surface forming a floating ribbon with perfectly smooth glossy surface on both side with an even thickness. As the glass flows along the tine bath, the temperature is gradually reduced from 1100°C until the sheet can be lifted from the tin onto rollers at approximately 600°C.
All Clear Float Glass can be tempered, laminated, bent, machined and decorated.
