DRY
Crushing the raw material
WET

• Particles are mixed with additives,
• to bind the ceramic particles
• to provide lubrication
• to plasticize for making the mix more plastic
• and formable

FORMING AND SHAPING GLASS

• Glass products
• Flat sheet or plate (window glass, glass doors,
• table tops)
• Rods and tubing (for chemicals, neon lights,
• decorative artifacts)
• Discrete products (bottles, vases, headlights,
• television tubes)
• Glass fibers to rienforce composite materials
• and for fiber optics-drawn through multiple
  orifices
