INTRODUCTION TO
GLASS
1-Glass is non crystalline amorphous solid.

2-The most familiar and historically oldest type

is ‘silicate glass’.

3- Glass is melted at a temperature between

1000° C to 2000° C.

4-Most of ordinary glozing and container glass

is made from specific type called ;Soda Lime’
5- Glass is composed of approximately 75% Silicon dioxide (SiO2),
Sodium dioxide (Na2O) From Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3),
Calcium Oxide also called Soda Lime .

6-Glass is the name given o all amourphous bodies that are obtained by
Lowering temperature.

7-Glasees will transmit reflect and refract light.

8-Most application of Silicate glasses derive from their optical transparency.

9-Glass can be coloured by adding metallic salts.

10-Many everyday applications like glass bottles or eye wears,polymer

glasses are lighter alternative than traditional glass.

11-In these days glass is our necessary requirement for our daily because
it plays great role in our life
USESOF GLASS / HOW GLASS IS
USEFUL
1-Glass is a useful material because it can be used for variety of things.

2- Glass is useful for the formation of glass lenses, containers,

windows and windscreens and also used in chemical laboratory.

3- They can protect photosensitive.

4- The lenses on glasses are important in today's society because of

the number of people with far or near-sightedness.
5- Glass containers are popular because it stores something without blocking
light and windows in houses and windscreen on cars, block out things from

8- In these days glass is also use in making showpieces and for decorating
objects.

9-The biggest advantage of glass is that it is waterproof and does not rust,
and melts in high temperature.

10-Glass is exxtensiely used in building construction.

11-It is used for cabinets,sops,fronts,show cases
