Borosilicate Glass, is a refractory material different from conventional soda lime glass commonly used at home.
Some of the benefits of this type of material are:
- It is highly resistant to thermal shock.
- It is very durable, which makes this products easy to handle at daily use
- Its low expansion coefficient permits its use under extreme temperature conditions.

- With proper use, It can last for many years maintaining the same appearance, transparency and resistance.
- Does not scratch or stain and does not retain odors.
- It is a highly secure material which is also used for laboratory products.
Chemical composition
Borosilicate Glass has the following approximate composition (%):
SiO2= 81% B2O3= 13% Na2O + K2O= 4% AI2O3= 2%
