Glass is the name given to all amorphous bodies that are obtained by lowering the temperature of a melt independently of its chemical composition and the temperature range of solidification, which as a result of the gradual increase of viscosity adopts the mechanical properties of a solid body. Glass is melted at a temperature between 1000 and 2000°C.
Flat glass is the basic material that goes into end products that see through every day. It is used to make windscreens and windows for automobiles and transport, windows and facades for houses and buildings, as well as solar energy equipment like solar thermal panels and photovoltaic modules. It is also used, in much smaller quantities, for many other applications like interior fittings and decoration, furniture, "street furniture" (e.g. bus stops), appliances and electronics. This material plays a crucial role in modern society. However, due to its unique property, i.e. transparency, it goes unnoticed to the extent that people tend to forget about it and all it brings to their lives. Any entrepreneur venture into this field will be successful.
