Using boron raw material in glass tehnology

July 13, 2015 in StekloSouz Russia held a meeting on improving the technology of glassmaking. I consider processes use boron compounds in the manufacture of flat and container glass.

Positive results of the use of boron raw material reported Khlystov Sergei, director of development and quality of "Etiprodakts." In particular, he drew attention to the energy savings up to 9%. Charge with colemanite Etikol Ekoglas lower melting, shrinking the area occupied by the charge in the furnace more than 10 m2. A good indicator is the reduced tendency to crystallize because upper limit temperature of crystallization - 10050S, and control - 10200S. The report Sergey stopped and other characteristics of good.

It was decided to invite the leaders of glass plants to study the technology. The meeting was attended by Viktor Osipov, president StekloSouz Russia and General Director of "Etiprodakts" Onur Engin Kerimo?lu.

Concluding the meeting, VI Osipov He said that the material is certainly of interest to the glass industry, however, it is necessary to prepare a program for the training of technologists glass factories for the production of boron flat and container glass.
