Our laboratory glassware is made using borosilicate glass.
Unlike borosilicate glass, soda-lime glass is the most common kind of glass and contains about 70% silica. It is typically a softer glass which means it can scratch easily. Pyrex is a chemically strengthened type of soda-lime glass.
Typical substances used to make glass are silicates, borates and phosphates. Borosilicate glass is composed of at least 5% boric oxide, making it more durable and heat resistant. The presence of the boric oxide helps to bind the silicate, aluminum oxide and sodium oxide. This combination of materials means borosilicate glass faces less material stress as it has a lower thermal expansion coefficient. Overall, borosilicate glass is the clear choice for your laboratory glassware needs as it is chemically resistant and resistant to extreme temperature changes.
