Abstract
The process of glass formulation is simply a process by which a glass is prepared with the desired properties for a certain application. The science of glass formulation is the knowledge that provides the possibility of producing distinctive formulations of value products for valued consumers. Creating the products starts by successfully combining the market view and the experience in formulation. The scientist skilled in glass formulation is able to design and develop glass formulations to meet specific needs for the application in mind.
