Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a completely fused melt. Raw materials for glass include cullet (crushed, recycled glass), sand, soda ash, limestone, and additives. At ordinary temperatures, glass materials are relatively strong, inert, biologically inactive, and corrosion resistant. They also provide excellent thermal and electrical insulation, and are characterized by high dielectric strength. During the fabrication of glass materials, the properties of glass can be modified as necessary by additives or heat treatment.
Glass materials include embedded glass, tempered glass, borosilicate glass, and soda lime glass. Embedded glass refers to glass materials that are embedded with wire for resistance heating or reinforcement. Tempered glass provides increased strength and can shatter into small pieces when broken. Borosilicate glass offers superior durability, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. These properties make borosilicate glass suitable for use in chemical processes, in the pharmaceutical industry, in high-powered lamps, and in cookware and other heat-resistant products. Soda lime glass is used in everyday products such as bottles, jars, drinking glasses, and window glass.
