Borosilicate Glass

 

 

Borosilicate glass is a formed with the addition of at least 5% boron oxide to silica-based glass. Boron oxide is a network former and additions of boron oxide improve strength, corrosion resistance and thermal shock characteristics. Borosilicate glass is particularly suitable for laboratory ware (test tubes, etc.), domestic cooking ware (oven dishes, etc.), high-power lamps and other technical glassware. Borosilicate glass has low thermal expansion characteristic, which makes it suitable for use in products with glass-to-metal bonds.

Products & Services
Glass fabrication services is the manufacturing of glass parts and assemblies using blowing, casting, extrusion, drawing, pressing, heat shrinking or other fabrication processes.   Search by Specification | Learn more about Glass Fabrication Services
Glass materials have a random, liquid like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a completely fused melt. Search by Specification | Learn more about Glass Materials
Glass tube and rod are hollow or solid stock shapes of fused silicate materials. They are used in laboratory, sight glass, level gage, X-ray tube, optical, lamp, pharma, vacuum tube stem assembly, and industrial process applications. Search by Specification | Learn more about Glass Tube and Rod
Ceramic insulation and textiles are fibrous refractories or thermal insulation products that consist of ceramic fibers in bulk, cloth, batting, paper or rope forms. Search by Specification | Learn more about Ceramic Insulation and Textiles
Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes.
