Borosilicate glass

Borosilicate glass - contains boric oxide as well as several other ingredients in specific proportions. The inclusion of boric oxide results in a glass material with excellent thermal properties. The material has a different coefficient of thermal expansion and very high resistance to thermal shock depending on the type of glass and customer requirements. As a result, it retains its dimensions across different temperatures and resists cracking and shattering when exposed to rapid temperature changes. Applications of borosilicate glass: - Thermal insulation. Borosilicate glass can be used to withstand high temperatures when compared to soda lime in severe applications. - Ceramic bond. Borosilicate glass is commonly used as an additive for the manufacture of high-strength workpieces that include mixing components with ceramics, abrasives, or other chemical compounds. - High-intensity lighting. Membranes used in high-intensity lighting systems are often made from borosilicate glass.
