Research and Markets: Global Flat Glass Market Report: 2013 Edition

Date: 19 September 2013

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ 2d4r84/global_flat_glass) has announced the addition of the "Global Flat Glass Market Report: 2013 Edition" report to their offering.

Glass is a non-crystalline solid but brittle material, chiefly made up of about 75% silica (SiO2), Na2O, CaO.Glass is a component crucial to scientific as well as numerous industrial sectors. Its chemical, physical, and optical properties, in particular, make it suitable for applications as/in flat glass, container glass, optics and optoelectronics material, laboratory equipment, thermal insulator (glass wool), reinforcement fiber (glass-reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced concrete), and glass art (art glass, studio glass). Primarily, the glass industry is divided into four market segments in: Hollow Glass, Flat Glass, Fiber Glass and Special Glass.

New glass cuts carbon footprint by nearly half and is 10x more damage resistant

Worldwide, glass manufacturing produces at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide every year. A new type of glass promises to cut this carbon footprint in half.
