Common card · No. 201622

Soda–lime glass, also called soda–lime–silica glass, is the transparent glass used for windowpanes and glass containers (bottles and jars) for beverages, food, and some commodity items. It is the most prevalent type of glass made. Some glass bakeware is made of soda-lime glass, as opposed to the more common and heat-tolerant borosilicate glass. Soda–lime glass accounts for about 90% of manufactured glass.
