Why Choose Borosilicate Glass Vessels
Borosilicate glass, sometimes referred to as Pyrex, is a special type of glass that is highly resistant to thermal shock compared to other glass materials.
It's most commonly used in laboratories and cookware due to its ability to withstand extreme temperature changes and its non-reactive properties.
Borosilicate glass was first developed in Germany in the late 19th century. Its main component is boron trioxide (B2O3), which makes it more heat-tolerant than common soda-lime silicate glasses.
The addition of smaller amounts of aluminum and sodium oxides also increase the thermal shock resistance. Borosilicate glass can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Celsius (932 F).
The strength of borosilicate glass comes from its larger molecular structure. The tiny borate molecules form strong bonds between the glass’ silicon dioxide layers, making it almost impossible to break.
This makes it an ideal material for handling harsh chemicals and intense temperatures.Due to its superior durability, borosilicate glass is often preferred over standard glass in scientific laboratories and commercial products.
It’s used in test tubes, laboratory containers, and kitchenware. Borosilicate glass is also used in medical instruments, fiber optics, and various industrial equipment.
Borosilicate glass is renowned for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, meaning it won’t expand or contract significantly when exposed to high temperatures.
This makes it ideal for use in cookware because it won’t warp even when it’s exposed to extreme temperatures.Borosilicate glass is more expensive than regular glass,
but its superior durability and thermal shock resistance make it worth the price. When used correctly, borosilicate glass can last a lifetime.
Borosilicate glass is made by handblown, the advantage is that we can get any shapes by using borosilicate glass. The borosilicate glass products are looking luxury and elegant.
