This paper describes the history of tin bath bottom blocks and the types of corrosion observed in the years since the start-up of the float glass process, in the early 1960s. Based on this history, a new ideal refractory guaranteeing minimum corrosion and interaction with the media in the tin bath atmosphere, liquid tin, and molten glass was developed and is presented.
