RAW MATERIALS

The management of GGMC believes in building and nurturing long term business relationship with all its clients whether suppliers or customers. All effort is made to ensure a stringent Quality program is followed from processing of raw material to end finished goods, creating an environment of trust, teamwork and understanding.

The composition of all commercially produced glass is very carefully controlled. This is achieved by purchasing relatively pure raw materials and ensuring that they are well mixed in precise proportions before being fed to the melting furnace. The major raw materials used in glass manufacturing are:

  • Silica Sand,
  • Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash),
  • Limestone.

In addition to these basic ingredients several other items may be added in order to make it more resistant to water and chemicals. Common additions include:

  • Sodium Feldspar,
  • Chromium,
  • Iron Chromite,
  • Sodium Sulphate,
  • Iron Pyrite,
  • Alumina,
  • Selenium,
  • Calumite.

Besides the chemicals mentioned, recycled glass (cullet) is also added to the melt. The cullet may arise from within the factory as a result of breakage or rejected ware. Cullet from this source is termed “domestic”. Cullet brought into the factory from external sources (e.g. bottle banks) is termed “foreign”.
