Development of materials (Trial melting,…)

Development of materials (Trial melting, …)
If required, we can undertake the development of special glass materials.
Thereby the successive typical working steps are performed:

  • The choice of suitable glass recipes according to given characteristics as basis for trial melting correlating with lab scale.
  • Testing of the property right’s situation (on demand externally)
  • Choice of materials and calculation of batches
  • Procurement of materials and production of batches
  • Performance of trial melting (circa 1 kg, until 1600 °C melting temperature), production of founded tilings or of glass frits (further processing to powder is possible, too)
  • Check of the chemical composition and the physical characteristics
