Glass can be engineered to exhibit different physical,
chemical, and optical properties. Different applications require specific types
of glass and manufacturing processes.
Three of the most common commercial glass types and their
applications are Soda-lime Silica Glass, Borosilicate Glass and Phosphate Glass.
Soda-lime Silica Glass encompasses many of the glass compositions used to
create food and beverage containers, decorative tableware and accessories, and
windows.
Soda-lime silica glass compositions account for nearly 90%
of the glass manufactured in the world. This is because Soda-lime silica glass
is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, the raw materials are common, and they
can be melted at a lower temperature than many other glass compositions.
