Production of the float-glass with the thickness exceeding the equilibrium

Based on the analysis of patent information, a classification of methods for forming thickened float glass by limiting the lateral spreading of molten glass in the head of the melt bath has been developed. Brief descriptions of the patented methods are given. The main developments of the Saratov Institute of Glass in the field of production of colorless and tinted heat-absorbing glass with a more equilibrium thickness are presented. Il. eight.
