Laboratory Glass Material Selection Guide: Why Choose High Borosilicate?

In laboratory work, the choice of glassware directly affects the accuracy of experimental results and operational safety. High borosilicate glass has become a standard configuration in modern laboratories due to its excellent performance. Here are five reasons why you should choose high borosilicate glass as your first choice:

Excellent temperature resistance performance

Can withstand drastic temperature differences ranging from -30 ℃ to 400 ℃

The coefficient of thermal expansion is only 3.3 × 10 ⁻⁶/℃, which is one-third of that of ordinary glass

Directly applicable to high-temperature sterilization and low-temperature freezing experiments

Excellent chemical stability

The acid and alkali corrosion resistance meets the HGB1 standard

Not reacting with the vast majority of chemical reagents

Long term use will not precipitate metal ions to contaminate the sample

Superb mechanical strength

The impact strength is 2-3 times that of ordinary glass

After special tempering treatment, the strength can reach 5 times that of ordinary glass

Significantly reduce the risk of damage during the experimental process

Excellent optical properties

Visible light transmittance of over 92%

Good transparency in both ultraviolet and infrared bands

Ensure the accuracy of experimental observation and optical measurement

Long service life

Surface hardness reaches Mohs 6.5, wear-resistant

Excellent anti-aging performance and long service life

The overall cost of use is actually lower than that of ordinary glass

Purchase suggestion:

Identify  international standard certification

Check the uniformity of vessel wall thickness and edge treatment

Prioritize selecting well-known brands to ensure quality

Select appropriate specifications based on experimental requirements

Although high borosilicate glass has a slightly higher unit price, its excellent performance and long service life make it the most cost-effective choice for laboratories. Choosing high borosilicate glassware is a wise decision for both routine experiments and precision research.
