EcoSodium when used as a flux in glass manufacturing, lowers the melting point of the raw materials such as silica, soda ash, and limestone. This results in lower energy consumption during the melting process thereby helping in reducing the production costs.
EcoSodium acts as a refining agent by helping remove impurities such as iron oxide and other contaminants, from the glass melt thereby making it preferred choice for applications where clear, colourless glass is required.
Addition of EcoSodium reduces formation of gas bubbles during the melting process. This promotes better mixing and homogenization of the raw materials, thereby giving a more uniform and defect-free final product.
EcoSodium helps control the viscosity of the glass melt. This increases the ease of forming the glass into the desired shape with better texture and consistency.
With lower energy consumption, reduced defects, and improved refining, EcoSodium allows manufacturers to produce high-quality glass more efficiently and economically.
