Title

Glass, Borosilicate

Subject

Description

Borosilicate glass is soda-lime glass with most of the lime replaced by borax, B203. It has a higher melting point than soda-lime glass and is harder to work, but it has a lower expansion coefficient and a high resistance to thermal shock, so it is used for glassware and laboratory equipment.

General Applications: Ovenware, laboratory ware, piping, lenses and mirrors, sealed beam headlights, tungsten sealing, bells.
