Abstract
The present invention is a green soda-lime-silica glass composition. The composition comprises 68 to 75% SiO, 10 to 18% NaO, 5 to 15% CaO, 0 to 10% MgO, 0 to 5% AlO, and 0 to 5% K0, where CaO+MgO is 6 to 15% and NaO+K0 is 10 to 20%, and colorants comprising: 0.3 to 0.8 wt. % total iron as FeOwherein the ratio of FeO/total Fe as FeOis 0.35 to 0.62; 0.05 to 0.5 wt. % manganese compound as MnO; 0 to 0.1 wt. % titanium oxide as TiO; and 0 to 1 wt. % cerium oxide as CeO. The colored glass has the following spectral properties at 4.0 mm. thickness: 65 to 81% light transmittance using Illuminant A (LTA) and using Illuminant C has a dominant wavelength of 494 to 555 nanometers with an excitation purity of 2 to 9%.
