The effect of additives and admixtures in tin on oxidation and incorporation of tin into bottom surface of the float glass

Based on the analysis of patent information, scientific and technical literature and developments of the Saratov Institute of Glass, the influence of additives and impurities in tin on the quality of float glass was determined. The mechanism of action of an effective metal additive has been established. A number of activities of impurity components in tin with respect to oxygen and sulfur has been compiled, on the basis of which it is possible to evaluate and predict their influence on the processes of interaction of tin with glass and to control the quality of glass. Bibliography: 7 titles.
