List of glasses
This list of glasses includes the different types of glass and corresponds to the article glass . Due to the large number of glassware, it is not possible to describe all of them in the main article. This list serves as a thematically structured reference.
According to the genesis
- Natural glass
- Obsidian (volcanic origin)
- Tektites and impact glasses (created by meteorite impact)
- Fulgurite (formed when lightning strikes)
- Maskelynite , which is found in meteorites.
- Artificial glass
- such as
- Glass formation by melt
- Glass formation through shock waves: Diaplectic glass e.g. B. in a meteorite impact
- Glass formation by the sol-gel process
According to the type of chemistry
- Alkali silicates (water glass) * Soda lime glass (for bottles and as window glass )
- Aluminosilicate glass
- Lead glass (e.g. lead crystal glass for glasses, TV funnels)
- Boron phosphate glass (boron trioxide, phosphorus pentoxide)
- Borosilicate glass (for laboratory equipment, cookware, optical lenses)
- Fluoride glass
- Quartz glass
- as a special case: glass ceramic , (lithium oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide)
After shaping
Hollow glass
- blown or centrifuged hollow glass: container glass (lockable) such as B. Bottles and canning jars, some drinking glasses
- Pressed glass: e.g. B. glass blocks , ashtrays, some drinking glasses
Flat glass
- Float glass ,
- Rolled glass (sometimes also called cast glass),
- Drawing glass ,
- cast dall glass
- Antique glass
Fiberglass
- A-glass (alkaline)
- AR glass (alkali-resistant fiber)
- E-glass (electrically insulating)
- C-glass (chemically resistant)
- HM glass
- R-glass (high strength fiber)
- S-glass (high strength fiber)
- Fiber optic cable
- Glass wool
Other special glasses
Hand-blown and craft glasses
According to the methods of post-processing
Flat glass
- ESG: toughened safety glass
- VSG: laminated safety glass
- VG: laminated glass
- Insulating glass: multi-pane insulating glass , heat protection glass
- Fire protection glazing
- Solar control glass
- TVG: Partially toughened glass
- Glass with self-cleaning properties
- Tempered glass (colloquial, actually just ESG)
- Automotive glass
- Mirror glass
Fiberglass
According to their traditional trade names
- Antique glass
