The present invention provides glass compositions that can be used instead of known glass compositions containing a large amount of PbO in applications such as coating ceramic substrates, e.g., alumina, or sealing fluorescent tubes or the like. The invention also provides glass forming materials containing the glass compositions as a primary component for glass formation. Glass compositions provided by the present invention are comprises essentially of primary oxide components. The primary oxide components include ZnO, B2O3 and P2O5 as essential components and Al2O3, MgO, CaO and BaO as optional components. The amount of the primary oxide components is 85 wt % or more (preferably 90 wt % or more) of the total weight of the glass composition. Typically, the primary oxide components include 45 to 80% of ZnO, 5 to 45% of B2O3, 1 to 35% of P2O5, 0 to 10% of Al2O3, 0 to 15% of MgO, 0 to 10% of CaO, and 0 to 5% of BaO.
