About

Glass

Our Minerals play a special role in the production of glass.

Our silica sand, kaolin, feldspar, calcium carbonate and calcium oxide are vital components in this industry. Quartz provides silica, essential for glass clarity and strength. Kaolin enhances its mechanical properties, while feldspar acts as a flux, lowering melting temperatures for efficient melting. Calcium carbonate stabilizes the glass composition and enhances its chemical resistance. Calcium oxide serves as a fluxing agent, aiding in the fusion process. Quartz provides silica, essential for product clarity and strength. Together, they form a synergistic blend, enabling the production of diverse products with superior quality, durability, and performance in various applications.
