Difference between high borosilicate glass and ordinary glass

27 Mar.,2025

What makes borosilicate glass better than regular glass? Why most of the glass materials on the market have been replaced with high borosilicate glass, in this article we will introduce the benefits of high borosilicate glass.

 

What is the difference between ordinary glass and high borosilicate glass?

Over the years, we have been committed to the production and innovation of high borosilicate glass, the market of ordinary glass cups are becoming less and less, high borosilicate glass is good at what?

Heat Resistant

High borosilicate glass cups are based on ordinary glass with 12.5~13.5% boron added, and in the manufacturing process, glaze water glass sand, soda and lime are also added, and their strain temperature can reach 520℃, and their strength is a bit higher. There is also a much lower coefficient of thermal expansion: (3.3士0.1)×10-6/K,Only about 1/3 of the ordinary glass, 3.3 high borosilicate glass is also called so. This is also the best borosilicate glass.

Borosilicate glass is more heat-resistant, can withstand an instant temperature difference of up to 150 ℃, ordinary glass can only withstand 75 ℃.

Just boiled water is 100 ℃, if you are not in the cold regions, 150 ℃ temperature difference, how to toss are not cracked. But ordinary glass will not work, a little cold pour into the boiling water on the crack.

Safety

The performance of glass is particularly stable, whether it is ordinary glass or borosilicate glass, ordinary drinking water is not any harmful substances precipitation.

For example, in chemistry class into the laboratory, found that almost all the chemical reagents are in a variety of glass test tubes, bottles inside the bottle. If it is not chemically stable, it cannot be widely used.

Appearance

Borosilicate glass is thinner and lighter than ordinary glass because of its high strength.

Borosilicate glass also has a higher light transmission rate than ordinary glass, making it more transparent and better to use. We have various styles of glasses, if you are interested, please come to buy!
