A Glass is an amorphous or a non-crystalline solid material. They are typically brittle and optically transparent. A natural glass is created when rocks high in silicates melt at high temperatures and cool before they can form a crystalline structure. Example of naturally occurring glass is obsidian or volcanic glass. A soda lime glass which is used in windows and drinking vessels is composed of about 75% silica, sodium oxide from soda ash, lime and other small additives.
There are some glasses which will not have silica as a major constituent, but have physico-chemical properties useful for fiber optics and other specialized technical applications. Examples of glasses used in fiber optics are fluoride glasses, aluminosilicates, phosphate glasses, borate glasses, and chalcogenide glasses.
A tempered glass also called as safety glass is used in a wide variety of applications, and mostly by all consumers daily.
A Glass is not a solid, not a gas, and not a liquid either. It is generally classified as a rigid liquid, which has liquid properties while acting like a solid. Heat can return it to a liquid and workable form, making it easy to reuse and recycle. It resists chemical interactions. It does not leak chemicals like plastics do, and can withstand extremes of heat and cold.
Two main methods involved in glass production are float glass process, which produces sheet glass, and glassblowing which produces bottles and other containers.
Some of the most common products manufactured in the global glass industry are fibreglass, flat glass, glass containers and specialty products such as lenses, optic fibers, mirrors, and glassware and TV tubes.
The recent study finds world glass industry generates yearly revenue of $75 billion, with leading exporters being the US, France, Japan, China, India and Germany.
