Glass & Bottle

Lime, particularly as calcium oxide (CaO) from limestone, is vital in glass and bottle production. It serves as a key component in glass batches, enhancing glass properties, and facilitating bottle manufacturing. Quicklime and limestone are the primary types of lime used in these processes, ensuring the quality and functionality of glass and bottles.

In glass and bottle manufacturing, high-calcium lime, dolomite and hydrated lime are used. High-calcium lime is favored for its stabilizing and durability-enhancing properties, while dolomite improves workability and prevents devitrification. The choice of lime depends on the desired properties of the final glass product and the specific manufacturing requirements.
