Corning's proprietary fusion glass process begins by melting, blending and conditioning raw materials into a homogeneous and virtually defect-free composition. Molten glass is fed into a suspended trough and allowed to overflow, rejoining or fusing at the bottom to form a continuous flat sheet. Because the glass sheet is formed in air, its surfaces are pristine and smooth, and require no subsequent grinding or polishing.
