Glasses of all kinds do not have sharp melting points, they typically soften well below the melting point. The melting point is determined by the composition.There are many types of glass in use even round the home where borosilicate glases and soda glass are the most likely. Pure silica melts at arounf 16500C other silicate glasses melt lower than this. Borosilicate glases around 14000C

∙ 9y agoThe common melting point of glass is between 1400-1600 degrees Celsius, or 2552-2912 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the reason that glass blowers must use high-temperature furnaces when creating glass objects.

∙ 14y agoThe melting point strongly depends on the type of glass and the chemical composition; it is necessary to consult the supplier catalog for more information.
