A series of soda‐lime silicate glasses was treated for varied times at different temperatures with 1, 1‐difluoroethane. Sodium and calcium fluorides formed on the surface of the treated glasses. Formation of NaF is proportional to the square root of time, implying a diffusion‐controlled reaction. Structural relaxation decreases the rate of bloom formation at high temperatures .
