Deterioration in which tiny cracks and hairline fractures form in a glass object due to a chemical instability inherent in the glass itself.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - crizzling

Crizzling can be categorized into several phases or stages. Initially the glass looks cloudy or hazy... but the haziness will not wash off. The glass may also exhibit little white dots or even crystals on the surface if the humidity is under 45%. As soon as the humidity goes up into the upper 50s, all the dots or crystals become liquid, and sometimes the entire surface can be wet or "weeping"...  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - crizzling

[La transpiration du verre] est l'un des premiers stades de la formation de gerçures : la composante alcaline du verre (le sodium ou le potassium) devient hydratée et suinte jusqu'à la surface, créant au passage un réseau enrichi de silice, pour former sur celle-ci de minuscules gouttelettes alcalines lui donnant une apparence floue ou voilée.  2, fiche 1, Français, - formation%20de%20ger%C3%A7ures

A deterioration process by which alkali is pulled from the glass structure by moisture in the air and [is] deposited on the surface of [the glass] object.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - weeping

Weeping is characterized by the formation of liquid droplets on the surface of glass, creating a cloudy and disintegrating surface layer.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - weeping

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

"Weeping" glass will have an oily or slippery surface feel, or in more severe instances, moisture will build up on the surface of an object in the form of droplets. Weeping is considered a symptom or precursor to crizzling.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - weeping

L'exsudation se caractérise par la formation de gouttelettes à la surface du verre, qui devient alors laiteuse et se désintègre facilement. Elle se produit lorsque la vapeur d'eau de l'air ambiant, adsorbée par l'objet, en dissout certains composants et les ramène à la surface du verre.  2, fiche 2, Français, - exsudation

Glass disease, also referred to as... glass illness, is a degradation process of glass that can result in weeping, crizzling, spalling, cracking and fragmentation... Glass disease is caused by an inherent instability in the chemical composition of the original glass formula.  4, fiche 3, Anglais, - glass%20disease

Weeping glass produces small drops of moisture and/or a slippery surface in damp conditions because chemically uncombined alkali leaches out as a result of the action of water vapour.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - weeping%20glass
