Glass & Ceramics Chemicals

SNDB supplies a wide range of glass and ceramic chemicals, sourced from top companies or manufactured in-house. These materials are essential for various industries, including metallurgy, chemical, mechanical, refractories, and consumer goods.

Glass and ceramics, while composed of similar materials, differ significantly in structure. Glass is amorphous, while ceramics are crystalline. Another key distinction is that ceramics can withstand very high temperatures without dissolving, whereas glass softens but does not melt at high temperatures.

Glass is produced by melting a combination of silica sand, sodium compounds, and calcium compounds, with metal oxides optionally added for colour. The glass industry primarily includes float glass, container glass, specialty glass, and fiberglass.

Ceramics, on the other hand, encompass a broad range of products, including refractories, sanitaryware, cement, ceramic tiles, and advanced ceramics. SNDB is a trusted supplier to these industries globally, providing high-quality chemicals tailored to meet their needs.

Glass and ceramic chemicals play critical roles in manufacturing processes. While some, like silica sand for glass, are basic raw materials, others act as antifoaming agents, flux, stabilizers, crystallizing agents, matting agents, and oxidizing agents.

SNDB specializes in supplying chemicals such as Sodium Oxide, Sodium Nitrate, Calcium Oxide, Feldspar, Boric Acid, Metal Oxides, Barium Carbonate, Potassium Nitrate, and more, ensuring quality and reliability for the glass and ceramic industries worldwide.
