High Borosilicate Glass Handicraft Series

Definition of high borosilicate glass
Borosilicate glass, often referred to as high borosilicate glass, is a special type of glass whose main components include silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and boron trioxide (B₂O₃). Compared with ordinary soda-lime glass, high borosilicate glass contains a higher proportion of boron and silicon elements, which gives it a series of superior properties:
High heat resistance: High borosilicate glass has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, and it is not easy to break or deform when the temperature changes sharply. Therefore, it can withstand extreme temperature changes from refrigerators to ovens, and is very suitable for making utensils that need to experience frequent alternations between hot and cold, such as laboratory glassware, kitchen utensils, etc.
Chemical stability: High borosilicate glass has strong resistance to most acids, alkalis and organic solvents. Except for hydrofluoric acid and phosphoric acid at high temperatures, few chemicals can damage it. This makes it an ideal material for experimental equipment.
Transparency: High borosilicate glass has good optical transparency and can transmit most visible light and even some ultraviolet light, which is very important for application scenarios that require high transparency.
Mechanical strength: Although high borosilicate glass is relatively brittle, it has a high hardness, a more wear-resistant surface, and is not easily scratched when impacted.
Features of high borosilicate glass cups
Safe and durable: Due to its excellent heat resistance and thermal shock resistance, high borosilicate glass cups can be safely used in microwave ovens, dishwashers, and direct heating.
Healthy and environmentally friendly: High borosilicate glass does not contain lead and other harmful substances, making it a healthy material choice and suitable for long-term use.
Beautiful and elegant: High borosilicate glass cups are usually simple in design and highly transparent, which is both practical and beautiful and suitable for use on various occasions.
Application areas
Home use: High borosilicate glass cups are widely used in homes as daily necessities such as water cups, coffee cups, and tea cups and are highly favored for their heat resistance and safety.
Laboratory: Due to its excellent chemical stability and heat resistance, high borosilicate glass is also widely used in laboratory flasks, test tubes, measuring cylinders, and other experimental equipment.
Industry: In some industrial production processes, various containers and pipes made of high borosilicate glass are also used to cope with harsh working environments.
