Advantages and disadvantages of high borosilicate glass

Advantages: high borosilicate glass has strong heat resistance, and it will not break when it is taken out of the freezer and filled with hot water that has just been opened. There is no problem from MINUS 20 degrees to 130 degrees or above. Single-layer high borosilicate glass products can be directly heated in the microwave oven and dried on an open flame for 20 minutes without any problem. High boron silicon is mainly used to make glass products, microwave oven supplies, solar tubes, chemical reaction containers and so on. It is widely used and is one of the safer drinking water supplies in the world at present.

Disadvantages: the market price is high.

Extended data:

Borosilicate glass is made, and sodium silicate sand, soda water and lime powder are added with the glaze made of boron traditional glass. Because the melting point of borosilicate glass is higher than that of ordinary silicate glass, some new technologies are needed for industrial production.

High borosilicate glass is an important material for making high-durability glass instruments such as beakers and test tubes. Of course, its application goes far beyond these. Other applications, such as vacuum tube, aquarium heater, flashlight lens, professional lighter, pipe, glass ball artwork, high-quality beverage glassware, solar thermal vacuum tube, etc. , also has applications in the aerospace field. For example, the thermal insulation tile of the space shuttle is also coated with high borosilicate glass.
