Weathering of Glass by Water, 19th Century Experiments
The author Foerste presents conclusions from extensive experiments and other studies on glass weathering. Key points: atmospheric moisture decomposes glass via carbonic acid acting on alkaline decomposition products. dry carbonic anhydride has no effect on dry glass. water retention in glass requires chemical combination. weathering and water-induced decomposition are related, both involving water uptake. surface changes are minor on good glass. weathering accelerates briefly with fresh action but recedes. hygroscopic glasses weather more readily.
