Abstract
Unlike flat glass, glass fibers or hollowware, special glass is not identified by its appearance. The most significant factor for the various types of special glasses is their application and this determines the requirements on certain properties of the glass. These glass properties can be influenced or adjusted by formulating suitable compositions which, in turn, requires intensive scientific research which few glass companies in the world can support. The result is a range of special glasses with high chemical and thermal durability and with a variety of optical, electrochemical or special application-tailored properties. These glasses are used in many different fields, such as chemistry, pharmacy, electrotechnology, electronics, apparatus and instrument construction, optics, illumination engineering, household appliances, certain sectors of the construction industry and in other technical applications.
