What are the applications of Borosilicate Glass?
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass in which the major glass-forming ingredients are silica and boron trioxide. Because of their low coefficients of thermal expansion, borosilicate glasses are more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass. Such glass is subjected to minimal thermal stress and is able to sustain higher temperature differences of up to 165 °C (297 °F) without shattering or breaking. It's often used to make reagent bottles and flasks, as well as lighting, electronics, and cookery. Ablaze Glass Works is a noted and distinct borosilicate glass manufacturer in Vadodara, Gujarat. Applications: When Otto Schott began experimenting with glass compositions, the primary difficulty he was seeking to solve was to design a glass that could withstand excessive temperature exposure. In rainy situations, for example, the glass used in lanterns would shatter or crack because the cold rain on the external surface of the glass creates a high-temperature difference ...
