Key uses and benefits
Fluxing agent: Dolomite's calcium and magnesium oxides disrupt the silica network, significantly lowering the melting temperature and reducing energy consumption during manufacturing.
Stabilizes glass: It acts as a network modifier, which increases the viscosity and rigidity of the molten glass, helping it maintain its shape during production. It also prevents devitrification, a process where the glass crystallizes instead of remaining a liquid.
Increases strength and durability: The magnesium oxide in dolomite reacts with excess silica to form a strong, durable bond, which improves the overall strength and resistance to breaking.
Improves optical properties: It enhances the clarity and brightness of the glass due to its high refractive index.
Key for specific glass types:
Flat glass: Improves clarity, smoothness, and strength for windows and mirrors.
Container glass: Increases chemical resistance and durability for jars and bottles.
Specialty glass: Improves thermal stability for products like laboratory glassware.
