Extra Clear Glass

Though glass is transparent, it does possess a slight greenish tint due to the presence of some impurities, mainly iron. Glass is made basically of silica and during the manufacturing process, inspite of proper cleaning of materials, impurities remain. These impurities are there mainly in the sand and lead to the glass having a slight greenish tint. In display counters and windows, this greenish tint interferes with the true representation of colour and shine. Now there is a glass which is purer and remarkably clear. This extra clear glass is used for a sparkling display of expensive materials like jewelry, watches, crystal ware, fine fabrics, art ware etc. This glass when used for making glass furniture with edge polishing gives a great edge shine, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal. Extra clear glass is also used in photovoltaic modules and scientific applications where a higher light or solar transmission is required.
