About High borosilicate glass

Glass bottles, glass mugs, glass jars widely used in our daily life, However, what is borosilicate glass processed by a special process? If used in daily life, is borosilicate glass fragile? Let’s find out with Yongxin Glass.

1. What is borosilicate glass?

High borosilicate glass is made by using the properties of glass to conduct electricity at high temperature, by heating inside the glass to achieve glass melting, and processed by advanced production technology. High borosilicate glass is a kind of “cooked glass”, which is quite expensive and fully meets the international environmental protection testing standards. Due to its own heat resistance and resistance to instantaneous temperature difference, high borosilicate materials are used to replace a large number of harmful heavy metal ions such as lead and zinc in “raw glass”, so its brittleness and heavy stars are far less than those commonly seen in life. Ordinary “raw glass”.

Borosilicate glass is an important material for making high-durability glass instruments such as beakers and test tubes. Of course, its applications are far more than these, other applications such as vacuum tubes, aquarium heaters, flashlight lenses, professional lighters, pipes, glass ball artwork, high-quality beverage glassware, solar thermal vacuum tubes, etc., while It has also been applied in the aerospace field. For example, the insulating tile of the space shuttle is also coated with high borosilicate glass.

2. Is borosilicate glass fragile?

Borosilicate glass is not fragile. Since high borosilicate glass has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, it is only about one third of ordinary glass. This will reduce the effects of stress due to temperature gradients, resulting in greater resistance to fracture. Due to its very small deviation in shape, it is an indispensable material in telescopes, mirrors, and it can also be used to dispose of highly radioactive nuclear waste. Even if the temperature changes suddenly, borosilicate glass is not easy to break.

In addition, high borosilicate glass has good fire resistance and high physical strength. Compared with ordinary glass, it has no toxic and side effects, and its mechanical properties, thermal stability, water resistance, alkali resistance, acid resistance and other properties are greatly improved. Therefore, it can be widely used in various fields such as chemical industry, aerospace, military, family, hospital, etc. It can be made into various products such as lamps and tableware, standard plates, telescope pieces, washing machine observation holes, microwave oven plates, solar water heaters, etc., and has good promotion value. and social benefits.

The above is the relevant introduction about high borosilicate glass, I believe everyone has a specific understanding of it. At the same time, high borosilicate glass is not easy to break, so you can use it with confidence when you buy related products.
