Notes:
In a previous paper the weathering of the internal surface of empty glass containers beforefilling was investigated. Several phenomena were identified and described such as leaching ofmodifiers, formation of a hydrated leached layer and of crystalline deposits mainly consisting ofCa-carbonates and Na-carbonates. Localised glass surface corrosion was sometimes also detected.The role of the storage conditions, time, temperature, relative humidity and concentrations ofpollutant gases (CO2, SO2), in the weathering phenomena was highlighted [1].In the present work the composition of the weathered glass layer and the nature of the crystallinedeposits are investigated. Furthermore, in order to examine more closely the weatheringmechanisms and their causes, the correlation between durability laboratory tests and chemicalcomposition of soda-lime-silica glass are discussed
