Float Glass Market One the Most Booming Industry in Upcoming Years Due to Global Demand in Industry by 2027

The float glass manufacturing process is named after the glass manufacturer Alastair Pilkington and hence, is also known as the Pilkington process. Float glass is manufactured by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metals, such as tin, lead and various low melting point alloys. Float glass is a sheet of glass and with the molten glass method, the resultant sheet possesses a good flat surface and uniform thickness. Most soda-lime glass are float glass and some quantities of flat panel display glass and speciality borosilicate are also made by the float glass process. Common raw materials used for the manufacturing of float glass are soda ash (sodium carbonate), sand, limestone, salt cake (sodium sulphate) and dolomite. Other ingredients may be used as refining, colouring agents or for required changes in the chemical and physical properties of the glass. Float glass is usually manufactured in batch process and its hardness and rigidness along with fact that it is a waterproof and lightweight insulator make it attractive among all end use applications in the global market. Float glass is increasingly being used in windows and doors in the construction industry, particularly for windows and doors made of glass. It is finding a variety of applications, such as windshields, windows and mirrors, in the automotive industry.
