3. Glass corrosion

Industrial glass is renowned for its chemical inertness. Laboratory glass allows visual control of reactions and is unaffected by reaction agents and products. In fact, their composition has been optimized to ensure high durability. However, as glass is a state of matter, there are also glasses whose chemical durability is such that they dissolve in aqueous solutions. In the case of oxide glasses, chemical durability will depend on a number of parameters.

3.1 Chemical durability

Chemical durability is the expression of a material's resistance to an environment. For glass, it expresses resistance to degradation in aqueous solutions. This value is generally expressed per unit area of material per unit time. Corrosion tests are adapted to the function of glass,...
