glass coloring

Ordinary soda-lime glass appears colourless to the naked eye when it is thin, although iron oxide impurities produce a green tint which can be viewed in thick pieces or with the aid of scientific instruments. Further metals and metal oxides can be added to glass during its manufacture to change its color which can enhance its aesthetic appeal.
Uranium (0.1 to 2%) can be added to give glass a fluorescent yellow or green color.[7] Uranium glass is typically not radioactive enough to be dangerous, but if ground into a powder, such as by polishing with sandpaper, and inhaled, it can be carcinogenic. When used with lead glass with very high proportion of lead, produces a deep red color.

how to color glass


The color is glass can bring much beauty to a glass object. Knowing how to color glass can give your glass projects lots of personality and uniqueness.
Ancient glass makers had no control as to what color the glass would be. The methods of how to color glass where through experiments that early glass makers made by adding other minerals to the glass mixture.
Experts in coloring glass resided in Egypt and Rome, giving us the wide spectrum of different color options for glass.
Before complicated stained glasses found in Churches, the first glass pieces made with color where simple bottles and cups.
Later on the stained glass windows become very popular and where placed in Church windows with designs according to the religion.
However, during those times despite having discovered how to color glass, they still had to figure how to make the color last. Sun exposure and other materials would make the color in the glass fade and change with time.
Now modern technology can easily color glass and make the color last as well. To color glass all you need is the right minerals in the glass making mixture.

Why Glass?


Why Glass?

Why choose a glass water bottle over plastic? It allows you to sip colder and more pure-tasting water, looks sleek and elegant, and is thicker and sturdier than plastic. Glass is also better for the planet: made from all-natural, sustainable raw materials, glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused endlessly. Plus, glass is just as portable as plastic, so you can take your bottle virtually anywhere!
Here are a few more reasons why glass is better than plastic for the environment and for you:
  • Roughly 2.7 million tons of plastic are used each year worldwide for disposable drinking bottles. Less than 1% of all plastic is recycled, meaning 99% of plastics are incinerated or end up in a landfill.
  • Americans buy an estimated 29.8 billion plastic water bottles every year, and nearly 8 out of every 10 bottles will end up in a landfill. Once there, it takes over 500 years for plastic bottles to break down.
  • It is estimated that the production of plastics accounts for 4% of the energy consumption in the United States. Plastic is bad for our Earth, and uses up valuable resources!
  • Glass is the only packaging material generally regarded as safe by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Glass is made from all-natural, sustainable raw materials, is 100% recyclable, and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity.
For more information please visit:
  • Glass, unlike some plastic bottles, does not contain any harmful chemicals such as BPA, phthalate, PVC, or polycarbonate, so nothing can leach into your water from a glass bottle.
  • Plastics made from polycarbonate resin can leach bisphenol-A (BPA), a strong endocrine disrupter, into its contents. Studies suggest that BPA may negatively affect reproductive organs, such as the breasts and prostate, as well as causing potential heart problems.
  • You can save money and Earth’s resources by utilizing an eco-friendly, reusable, recyclable glass water bottle.
  • Glass is taste-neutral, so no plastic or metallic taste will affect your beverage. Try our taste-test challenge: Sample various beverages from glass and plastic and let us know what you find out!
  • You can safely refill your glass bottle as much as you want, and drinking the recommended daily intake of water means a healthier you.

TV

My object is the TV, because it takes a big place in most of the people’s lives. We watch the news, we listen to music, and we watch films, documentaries, competitions and so much more. The field is getting bigger day by day.

We all know that today’s form of TV is not how it used to be. It was nearly twenty times thicker, and the screen was nearly half the size of the general ones we use now. Most importantly, it was colorless. It also spent more electricity and it was more expensive. It didn’t have remote control. There was only one channel. As we can see, it has improved a lot.

I want to talk about the specialties. First of all, the screen has improved in a way to minimize the discomfiture to the eye. New technologies popped up, like LED or LCD. The pixels are redounded. More colors, more vivid scenes.. And it got slimmer, lighter. Now we can hang it on the walls. The shape and look of it is of course more esthetic. You can find matching color with your furniture. Also it’s trying to catch and use the other new technologies. Like USB, Bluetooth, wireless, HDMI connections, and more. By USB connection, we can directly connect flash discs, hard discs, cameras etc. HDMI lets us link more devices, like HD players or Play Stations. So the arena gets bigger. You can create a technological world for yourself.

Another thing to mention is the materials. The older TV’s were mainly made by metal. That made them heavier and more expensive. Now they are produced with plastic. And the screen is no longer made with glass.

But the TV hasn’t finished its evolution yet. It keeps improving and who knows, maybe there will be 3D simulated TVs one day. Or maybe we won’t need the TV to watch some stuff.
