The composition of all commercially produced glass is very carefully controlled. This is achieved by purchasing relatively pure raw materials and ensuring that they are well mixed in precise proportions before being fed to the melting furnace. The major raw materials used in glass manufacturing are:


Silica Sand

Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash)

Limestone


In addition to these basic ingredients several other items may be added in order to to make it more resistant to water and chemicals. Common additions include:

Sodium Feldspar
Chromium

Iron Chromite
Sodium Sulphate

Iron Pyrite
Alumina

Selenium
Calumite

Besides the chemicals mentioned,recycled glass (cullet) is also added to the melt. The cullet may arise from within the factory as a result of breakage or rejected ware. Cullet from this source is termed “domestic”. Cullet brought into the factory from external sources (e.g. bottle banks) is termed “foreign.”
