Glass is a kind of material widely used in construction, home decoration, automobile, electronic products and other fields. Depending on the composition and manufacturing process, glass can be divided into many different types.
The first is the common silicate glass, which is formed after high-temperature melting based on silica. Silicate glass has excellent transparency and compressive strength, and is widely used in windows and walls in buildings.
The second is soda-lime glass, which contains higher sodium oxide and calcium oxide components. Soda-lime glass has good heat resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and is commonly used in laboratory instruments, chemical containers, etc.
There is also boron glass, which is made by adding boron trioxide to silicate glass. Boron glass has a low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal shock resistance, and is often used in the production of thermoelectric refractory ware and optical glass.
In addition, there is quartz glass, which is made from high-purity quartz sand. Quartz glass has good optical properties and high temperature stability, widely used in optical instruments, lasers, solar cells and so on.
All in all, there are many types of glass, and each glass has its own unique characteristics and application areas. Different types of glass can be selected according to the specific needs of the material, in order to achieve the best effect.
