High borosilicate glass, as an emerging glass material, is widely used in chemical and medical equipment, as well as in the production of high-end dining utensils in Europe and America. It is slightly different from ordinary sodium calcium glass. Handmade glassware is purely handmade. In order to achieve even molding, the master needs to continuously rotate the glass embryo during the blowing process, forming and manufacturing. This is a normal process phenomenon unique to handmade glass products.

1. What is a high borosilicate glass cup

High borosilicate glass is made by utilizing the conductive properties of glass at high temperatures and heating it internally to achieve glass melting. It is processed through advanced production processes and has a linear thermal expansion coefficient of (3.3 ± 0.1) × 10-6/K, also known as "borosilicate glass 3.3". It is a special glass material with low expansion rate, high temperature resistance, high strength, high hardness, high transmittance, and high chemical stability. Due to its excellent performance, it is widely used in industries such as solar energy, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical packaging, electric light sources, and craft accessories. Its excellent performance has been widely recognized by various sectors of the world, especially in the field of solar energy, which has been widely promoted in developed countries such as Germany and the United States.

2. What are the advantages of high borosilicate glass cups

High borosilicate glass has a high expansion coefficient. Simply put, it means taking the glass cup out of the freezer and immediately filling it with freshly opened hot water. The glass cup will not break from minus 20 degrees Celsius to minus 130 degrees Celsius, which is no problem. Single layer glass products can be directly put into the microwave oven and can be dried on an open flame for 20 minutes without any problem, The main use of high boron silicon is to make glass products, microwave oven supplies, solar tubes, chemical reactors, chemical reaction containers, etc. It is currently the safest drinking water product in the world

High boron heat-resistant glass has a first grade water and acid resistance, and an A-grade alkali resistance. The harmful components of the glass are less than 0.1%, making it a widely used heat-resistant glass both domestically and internationally. However, generally heat-resistant glass is not necessarily a true high boron silicon glass, but is replaced with other glass to reduce costs.

Of course, the cost of high borosilicate glasses is higher than that of regular glasses, so there is definitely a price difference.
