Float glass data sheet.

Material safety data sheet float and rolled flat glass section 13 disposal considerations glass and glass dust can be recycled into some new glass products and should be recycled wherever appropriate and possible. Normal strength glass also known as annealed or float glass is known to fracture into large sections with sharp edges. Annealed glass can be cut machined drilled edged and polished. Float glass is soda lime glass made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin this method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat smooth surfaces.

It is usually color neutral and highly transparent but tints are possible too. Normal strength glass also known as annealed or float glass is known to fracture into large sections with sharp edges. Dispose as an industrial waste per local requirements. Annealing float glass is the process of controlled cooling to prevent residual stress in the glass and is an inherent operation of the float glass manufacturing process.

Chemically strengthened or chemically tempered glass and thermally heat strengthened glass will tend to fracture much the same as normal strength annealed glass and are not considered safety glazing products. Float glass is characterized by great surface hardness but is very fragile and uv transmittant. Glass and glass dust is not considered a hazardous waste under usepa rcra. It can be laminated toughened and is treated exactly the same as clear float glass.
