Glass technology involves the scientific processes used to create, modify, and enhance glass materials. It begins with melting raw ingredients like silica, soda ash, and limestone at high temperatures to form a liquid that can be shaped. Modern methods include adding special chemicals to give glass specific properties like color, strength, or resistance to heat and chemicals. Advanced technologies also allow for coatings that improve durability or transparency. These innovations enable the production of various glass types for uses in architecture, electronics, transportation, and packaging, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
