What material is made of glass? Glass is made from natural and abundant raw materials (sand, soda ash, and limestone) that are melted at very high temperatures to form a new material: glass. At high temperatures glass is structurally similar to liquids. However, at ambient temperature, it behaves like solids. Inspired by our latest “8 Furniture Materials”, in this article we’re going to discuss more glass material.

Glass Material
In general, glass is a hard and brittle substance that is usually transparent or translucent. It may be a fusion of sand, soda, lime, or other materials. The most common glass forming process heats the raw materials until they become molten liquid, then rapidly cools the material to create hardened glass. Relative to many other materials, glass possesses high hardness values. However, most types of glass tend to be naturally brittle, which makes them vulnerable to breakage or fracturing in applications where impacts, pressures, or stresses are present. In order to eliminate this inherent brittleness, engineers and manufacturers must thoroughly process glass according to optimal strengthening/tempering protocols.
