Glass history

Glass materials has been known since the days of ancient Egypt, before 10,000 BC, and began as a jewelry papular about 3500 years ago. At that time, glass is created through the mold made of clay or sand method known as cores. This method is performed with liquid glass blowing mold surface, then removed after the glass cools, Along with its development, in the year 395 to 30 BC has found a new technique of processing glass melting techniques. This technique is a technique of making glass tube by blowing.

In the 14th century, the Age of the Roman Empire, the glass has a very rapid progress and make the city of Venice as a center of production, result of the collapse of Roman glass processing center moved to the eastern regions of Syria and Bynzantium. At that moment in the glass coloration technology for the first time.

Industrial revolution also contributed in no small amount of burning glass processing, i.e., by using soda ash and the ash of algae as a substitute for firewood.

As a result, high temperature can easily accessible, so that the production process faster and more results. Belief of the potential of glass as a material the greater the material after the holding of fairs in London in 1851 which shows the grandeur of the Crystal Palace pavilion made of steel and glass.

In early 1900 the new method appears in the glass-making process that is known as the method of development. In this method the liquid glass floated above the liquid tin, as a result large glass sheets can be produced without folds or bends that do not require more materials or polish glass polishing.
