Atmosphere Control

Atmosphere Control

Industrial gases can be used to prevent reactions that are detrimental to the glass forming process. For example, inerting the tin bath during float glass manufacturing with nitrogen/hydrogen blends can help prevent the formation of glass defects and protect the chambers/equipment in which the glass is formed.

Air Products gases and decades of experience can help with a variety of atmosphere control applications in a wide range of glass manufacturing processes:

• Purging
• Blanketing
• Shielding
• Surface Modification
