ABSTRACT:
In the making of glass containing Na.sub.2 O as an oxide constituent, sodium silicate water solution ("water glass") is used as a batch ingredient to supply a fraction, but only a minor fraction, of the Na.sub.2 O content. Conventional sodium-containing batch materials supply the bulk of the Na.sub.2 O content. Such use of the water glass has been found to improve the batch flow pattern in the glass melting furnace and thereby to increase batch homogeneity. Improvements in seed, cord and production efficiency ("percent pack") are attained.
