Schroder - Soda-Lime Sight Glasses
Soda-lime glass is an inexpensive glass with universal applications. This glass is produced by melting quartz sand, soda and lime together at over 1,200 °C. The outcome is a silica glass whose main constituents are silicon oxide, sodium oxide and potassium oxide. By adding various oxides during melting, it is possible to colour the glass. The glass can be decoloured by adding various metal salts, and it is then known as white glass or Optiwhite glass.
