A bstract The resistance of polished plate glass to sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and sodium pyrophosphate was studied at various concentrations and temperatures. Test results showed (1) that the hydroxides are less corrosive than many alkaline salts; (2) that temperature has a marked effect on the rate of corrosion; (3) that increasing the solution above 10% does not alter the rate of attack appreciably; and (4) that the amount of stain on glass cannot be used as a measure of the amount of attack.
