Potassium carbonate

Potassium carbonate

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) is a key raw material in the production of high-quality specialty glass, including optical glass, television screens, laboratory glassware, and crystal glass. Its role in glass manufacturing lies in its ability to act as a flux, lowering the melting point of silica (SiO₂) and promoting a smooth, uniform melt.

Unlike sodium-based fluxes, potassium carbonate produces glass with higher refractive index, improved chemical resistance, and superior clarity, making it ideal for optical and decorative applications. In crystal glass, potassium carbonate contributes to enhanced brilliance and sound resonance, qualities highly valued in fine tableware and artistic glass products.

It also ensures better thermal and mechanical stability in technical glass applications. Its high purity, solubility, and consistent composition make potassium carbonate a preferred additive in modern glass formulations requiring precision and performance.
