Glass containers - Surface treatment
Scope of application
The application of surface treatment preserves glass strength and improves glass handling throughout manufacture and filling.
The outer surface of a glass container may be treated to reduce friction and to improve resistance to abrasion.
Surface coatings are applied at two stages:
The outer surface of a glass container may be treated to reduce friction and to improve resistance to abrasion.
Surface coatings are applied at two stages:
- Hot-End (metallic oxide deposition): coatings are applied immediately after the container has left the forming machine, and before it enters the annealing lehr.
- Cold-End (application of a lubrication layer): coatings are applied at the exit of the annealing lehr

Glass wg1+4
WG chair: Arnaud JANIN - VERALLIA FRANCE
This permanent group is dedicated to a wide range of topics downstream of the production of glass bottles and jars dedicated to the food and beverage industries:
- Surface treatments, marking, labelling;
- Testing methods (impact, headspace, internal pressure, etc.);
- Nomenclatures (of finishes, jars, bottles, and visual defects, etc.);
- Quality management (food and beverage safety, best practices, regulations).
