Tin's Beneficial Effect in Aqueous Corrosion of Float Glass

A.Ray, R. Wuhrer and L.Jacob

Corrosion of glass panels when stored in
contact with each other in the presence of small
amount of water or moisture is a well known
phenomenon. Results of this investigation reveal
that aqueous corrosion of window glass
manufactured by the "float" method, manifests
itself differently depending on whether the tin side
of the non-tin side is studied. The tine side was
found to be clearly more resistant to degradation
compared with the non-tin side under the same
experimental conditions namely, temperature,
relative humidity and load.
