Abstract: The main objective of this study was to prepare transparent soda-lime-silica and borosilicate glasses utilizing locally available raw materials. Major source of oxides for the preparation of different various glass batches are silica sand, limestone, magnesite, clay, feldspar, granite and nepheline syenite. The mean chemical composition of soda-lime-silica glasses consisted of SiO2 (70.72%), CaO (10.78%) and Na2O (16.67%) and that of borosilicate glass consisted of SiO2 (71.83%), Na2O (5.30%) and B2O3 (13.26%). The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) ranged from 93.64 to 110.78x10-7°C for soda-lime-silica glass and from 44.85 to 73.25x10-7°C for borosilicate glass in the Temperature range of 25-300°C. A strong correlation was observed between the batch and among other glass parameters such as chemical composition, melting temperature, color, density, microhardness, chemical suitability and coefficient of thermal expansion. The multivariate analysis of major oxides and the different properties of prepared glasses suggest that most of these properties depended on the composition of glasses. The properties of the prepared glasses highlighted the potential of local raw materials for glass industry in the Kingdom.
