Selection of raw materials for glass manufacturing

The selection of raw materials for glass manufacturing is the matter of vital importance.

There are few factors which are considered during selection of raw material 

Purity and cost of Raw materials

Grain size of raw materials

Storage of raw material

Raw materials should be cheaper, pure and contain a high level of constancy of chemical composition under possible commercial condition for best kind of glass manufacturing with the lowest manufacturing cost.

grain size of raw materials matter for homoginity of batch which is a sensitive parameter to manufacture quality glass.

A proper infrastructure is required to store the glass raw materials in sufficient quantity for glass manufacturing.
