3.0 Dishwasher load

The dishwasher load can be divided into two broad groups.

1. Items for food preparation:

Aluminum, steel (pot, pans), oven-proof dishes (casserole

dishes), etc.

2. Items for food consumption:

Porcelain, glass, silver and stainless steel cutlery, etc.

Glass with its many favorable properties (transparency, refraction, reflection,

shine, water-imperviousness, taste- and odor-neutrality, chemical

resistance) is a material frequently used in the home for equipment for food

and drink preparation and consumption.

From a chemical standpoint glass is a fusion of inorganic metal oxides.

Glass is manufactured by smelting sand and various alkaline and earth-

alkaline compounds together at 2700 – 3200°F. Glass has no fixed defined

crystalline structure, as physically it is a super-viscous liquid.

Glass items of the most varying qualities are frequently washed together in

the dishwasher so it is not surprising that varying levels of glass corrosion

may become apparent at different times. Cheap glasses may show signs of

corrosion after less than 100 wash cycles while others declared as

dishwasher-proof have often survived for more than 1000 washes in

laboratories without any evidence of material damage or loss of brightness

or shine. Differences in the condition of individual glasses may not only vary

between different manufacturers but also between glasses of the same

series.

Glass types:

1. Soda lime glass / Sodium silicate glass:

Simple everyday glass (general drinking glasses, bottles)

manufactured from old glass, sand, soda/potash and calcium.
