Calumite is a raw material for the glass making industry which is utilised primarily in the manufacture of float and container glass where the unique melting and refining properties enable producers to achieve energy reduction and Increased pull, energy costs, and quality of finished product as well as improving the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.
When utilised correctly in the batch Calumite can provide the following benefits:
- Energy Reduction and Increased Pull
- Reduced Seed Counts
- Environmental Improvements
- Economic Advantages
- Improved Reduction Oxidation (REDOX) Control
- Stable Amber Glass Colour and Reduced SO3
- Oxide Replacement
