How many degrees does sand have to be heated to turn into glass?

Sand will not turn into glass when heated. The main raw material of glass is quartz sand, not ordinary sand.

Quartz sand is a timely particle made by crushing quartz stone. Quartz stone is a nonmetallic mineral, and it is a hard and wear-resistant silicate mineral with stable chemical properties.

The main raw materials for glass production are glass forming agents, glass modifiers and glass intermediates, and the rest are auxiliary raw materials. The main raw materials are oxides, intermediate oxides and out-of-network oxides introduced into glass to form a network; Auxiliary raw materials include clarifier, flux, opacifier, colorant, decolorant, oxidant and reducing agent.

Uses of quartz sand:

The unique physical and chemical characteristics of quartz sand make IT play an important role in aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery and the rapidly developing IT industry, especially its internal molecular chain structure, crystal shape and lattice change law.

Because of its high temperature resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, high insulation, corrosion resistance, piezoelectric effect, resonance effect and its unique optical characteristics, it plays an increasingly important role in many high-tech products.
