Abstract

LionGlass, a unique family of glass compositions, emerges as a notable lowcarbon alternative to conventional soda lime silicate products, thanks to its lower melting temperature, enhanced crack resistance and superior thermal and optical properties. Its lower melting point results in reduced energy consumption during manufacturing and its enhanced workability makes it an optimal candidate for the production process.
