With the help of morphological and electron probe microanalysis, it was found that one of the defects of glass melt in the production of continuous glass fiber, causing increased breakage, are inclusions of molybdenum disulfide, which is formed as a result of sulfate corrosion of electrodes. The source of defects can also be salt deposits, condensing on sub-flare refrigerators, consisting mainly of sodium chloride and sulfofluoride and refrigeration corrosion products? nickel and copper compounds
