Why container-glass engineers specify MX-30/50

The Oriskany sandstone formation in the Mid-Atlantic has been producing silica for flat and container glass since 1907. Its naturally low iron content — typically below 90 ppm at the seam — makes it the default specification for engineers who need predictable batch chemistry without expensive secondary purification.

Lot stability that holds up at scale

Every truck of MX-30/50 ships with a Certificate of Analysis that locks chemistry to a ±0.4% band on SiO₂ and a 20 ppm band on iron. Our QA team scans every fifth ton in production, and the results are published to the customer portal within two hours of dispatch.

Particle distribution, by request

Our standard 30/50 mesh distribution is engineered for soda-lime container batches, but we can re-cut for fiber, optical, or solar-grade requirements without changing the seam or the chemistry. Tell us the application and we'll propose a profile.

↳ ENGINEER'S NOTE

"If you're switching from a Mid-Continent grade to MX-30/50, plan for a one-week parallel run on your batch house. The cut is similar, but the iron drop will affect your colorant ratio."
