Most have bonded glass tanks
However,, how many know just how the glass is bonded ?
Yes, most know a special silicone is used but, how does that safely bond glass in our tanks?
This is basically how....
"Silicone is a polymer mainly composed of silicon and oxygen. Glass is mostly silicon dioxide, so if the silicone is in contact with glass as it cures, it can form a very strong bond "
