Learn How Calumite Slag
Helps Your Business
Calumite Slag
Calumite Slag is utilized in the manufacture of container and float glass. The Calumite companies have developed a process
to minimize the variations in slag composition and thus are producing a commercially consistent and dependable glassmaking
material that is comparable in quality and uniformity to the other raw materials used in a glass batch. When utilized
properly, Calumite Slag in a glass batch can aid substantially in lowering melting temperatures or it can permit more
glass to be melted at essentially the same temperature.
Benefits include:
- Prolongs furnace life
- Prevents excess retention of gases
- Provides a tool for the close control of oxidizing levels in the melting operation
- Improves stability and homogeneity of the glass
- Simplifies batch formulation
