Reinforced glass defect in which the surface of the wire is heavily contaminated with oxide


Peeling

The first stage of grinding glass - rough primary grinding, performed before distribution


Bleach

A substance or mixture of substances added to a mixture that neutralizes the coloring effect of impurities. Their action is either physical (by creating a color that complements the color of the impurity to neutral), or chemical (for example, by oxidation)


Tiling

Placement of the refractory bar outside the worn bar during operation of the furnace; or bar located in this way


Obsidian

Natural volcanic glass in black


Fire polishing

Glass heating to give it smoothness, gloss and fusion of the edges of the product


Fireproof glass (Flameproof glass)

Glass that does not break easily when heated, or in contact with a flame


Refractory bar

1. Refractory blocks placed in front of a newly installed pot.

2. Refractory bars for regulating glass flows in the channels of the forming machine (shutter).

3. Refractory bars in a vertical damper with a counterweight or in the furnace door (gate).


Scale

A small piece of metal or coal oxide enclosed in glass


Oxidizing agent

A mineral or chemical component that enhances the oxidation state of other glass components during cooking, thereby helping to brighten or control the color of the glass

Swelling (free-form glass)

The technology of forming heated glass under the influence of its own weight


Glass swelling

Open bubble

Defective surface of sheet glass due to contact with rolls in the shaft of a vertical stretching machine


Casting

The process of shaping glass by pouring it into a mold or onto a table or by passing it between shafts


Reflective glass

This is an ordinary float glass with a metal coating to reduce solar heat. A special metal coating also gives a mirror effect that does not allow you to see through such a glass. It is mainly used in facades.


Point
