Dishwasher Corrosion Of Glasses

Dishwasher resistance of glass articles is one of the most important quality criteria for glass tableware manufacture. Corrosion of glass and the resulting formation of unacceptable appearance limits the lifetime of glass tableware, particularly important to professional catering businesses where constant replacement of glass is a considerable cost factor. This paper comprehensively investigates glass corrosion behaviour during dishwashing and the effect of glass composition on improved dishwasher resistance by rendering the glass less prone to atmospheric corrosion, even under severe conditions.
