What is high borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains boron trioxide which allows for a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. This means it will not crack under extreme temperature changes like regular glass. Its durability has made it the glass of choice for high-end restaurants, laboratories, and wineries. Meanwhile, its safety and heat resistance, and cold resistance make more and more people choose to use high borosilicate glass.
What are the advantages of high borosilicate glass?
1. Borosilicate glass is highly durable. In fact, that’s what makes it so famous and sought-after. Borosilicate glass requires higher temperatures to make than regular soda-lime glass. The higher manufacturing temperatures are what confers its heat resistance.
2. Environmentally friendliness: Borosilicate glass is a more sustainable material option than plastics since it is made from naturally occurring raw materials that are relatively abundant and easy to acquire.
3. Dishwasher and Microwave oven resistance: Borosilicate glass is sometimes used for high-quality beverage glassware, particularly in pieces designed for hot drinks. Items made of borosilicate glass can be thin yet durable, or thicker for extra strength, and are microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
4. If the high borosilicate is double-walled glasses, it can pass the extreme hot and cold test, and it also keeps the temperature of liquid hot or cold for a longer period of time while the outer glass wall remains comfortable to touch. Moreover, it also keeps iced coffee cold longer than porcelain or ceramic cup.
Scope of application of high borosilicate glassware products
Glassware products was made of high borosilicate has been more and more widely used in our life. A good glassware item can make our life more romantic and interesting. The following are the most common usage for high borosilicate glassware products:
NO 1: Double-walled glass cup
The double-walled glass is basically a glass within a glass. The air between the two glasses is sucked out when it is made, creating a vacuum. Instead of having a heating or cooling element to keep drinks hot or cold, it is designed to keep beverages at the correct temperature by not allowing heat to escape or enter. we can put coffee, milk, juice or other hot drinks or cold drinks.
NO 2: Glass storage jar
With borosilicate glass containers, food can go from the freezer or refrigerator to the conventional oven or microwave, to the table and dishwasher – all without worry. The secret is tempered glass, a material proven to withstand high and low temperatures without shattering. It’s even engineered to resist staining.
NO 3: Glass jar or glass carafe
The Ratio Borosilicate Glass Carafe is as beautiful as it is functional. It can put not only cold drinks, but also exothermic drinks, and can be put in the refrigerator and microwave.
NO 4: Glass candle holder
Heat Resist High Borosilicate Glass Candle Holder used for home decoration.
NO 5: High borosilicate glass drinking cup
A good glass drinking cup can be a handy tool for your kitchen. Widely used for water, ice tea, hot tea, juice, homemade beverages, cold-brewed coffee, milk, cocktails, etc.
