I agree with you, the glass industry is a vast field and a science in itself
Let me just add these raw materials to the ingredients you mentioned in your article:
Sodium oxide:
It lowers the melting point and helps form glass
Borax:
It is a substance that contains sodium oxide (Na2O) and boron oxide (B2O3), and it works to reduce the coefficient of expansion of glass, and glass that contains a large percentage of boron oxide is characterized by that it does not break when exposed to sudden heat.
