ABSTRACT:
Suitable starting materials for the manufacture of a heavy metal fluoride glass composition are mixed with solid xenon fluoride as the fluoridizing reagent, after which the mixture is heated to temperatures between 200.degree. and 400.degree. C. in an inert atmosphere for a time which suffices to bring about fluoridation of the starting materials. The intermediate product thus obtained is melted thereby forming a stable glass composition of a high purity and a high transparency. The method can be carried out in a simple manner in a furnace which need not be gastight.
