Glass industry

The applications of selenium in the glass industry are numerous and diverse.

Decolorization of glass by removing the green tint caused by the iron content in sand
Coloring of glass: from colorless to orange to red, e.g., for church windows or heat-absorbing "privacy" glass (dark-tinted glass without film)
Component in the production of large-area flat glass, including "privacy" glass
Use in container glass production for decolorizing glass bottles

We supply our selenium products to glass manufacturers worldwide.

Global glass production accounts for approximately 50% of the consumption of selenium compounds. Selenium metal powder, selenium metal pellets, zinc selenite, and sodium selenite are required for a wide range of manufacturing processes. Selenium also plays a crucial role in glass recycling, as it is used to decolorize the glass batch. We offer selenium compounds with purities ranging from at least 99.5% up to 99.95%, suitable for technical applications such as the production of optically high-reflective surfaces for windows.
