Both lime and limestone (calcium carbonate) are essential components in glassmaking, as calcium is used as a stabiliser that improves the quality and physical appearance of the glass. Quicklime (calcium oxide) can also be used where higher efficiencies and outputs are required during glass manufacturing.
Our Trucal limestone granules and grits are used extensively in the manufacture of float glass, container glass and glass fibre, and offer low impurity levels and consistent chemistry and granule size. While our Calbux quicklime is primarily used in glass fibre production where furnace outputs need to be maximised.
