Glass is a transparent and versatile material composed primarily of silica sand, with additives to tailor its properties. Its diverse uses span multiple industries: it forms windows and architectural facades in construction, containers for food and beverages, windshields and screens in automobiles, displays in electronics, and precision optics in scientific instruments. Glass is produced by melting a mixture of raw materials, including silica sand and additives, at high temperatures. The molten glass is shaped through processes like blowing or pressing, then cooled gradually in an annealing process to prevent stress-related fractures. Annual glass production in Oceanyka is relatively high for its GDP, primarily fuelling its enormous alcoholic beverage and automobile industries.
