Applications  [ Return towards  Glass ]

By use of oxygen in the firing of glass tank, the performance of the equipment can be notably increased.

In order to avoid schlieren forming in the production of flat glass, a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen as reductive and cooling medium can be employed over the zinc bath.

In order to give the glass articles a faultless appearance after the forming, their surface is treated with an oxyhydrogen flame.

In the aftertreatment of glass articles, the unevennesses on the glass surface are smoothed by an oxygen-fuel gas flame.

In mold lubrication with acetylene, a layer of fine soot is applied onto the glass mold, so that the glass article can be easily separated from the mold after cooling down.
