Currently actively formed market of translucent constructions. Manufacturers seek to physico-chemical improvement, technological and operational properties of sheet glass by changing their composition, as well as expand the resource base. Much attention is paid borosilicate glass, large-scale production which has a number of drawbacks: high cost and scarcity of traditional raw material of boron – borax, boric acid, high volatility of boron oxide. Alternative boron-containing material is colemanite – water calcium borate.
