What are the advantages of choosing high borosilicate glass?


Duehigh borosilicate glassThe structure contains boron trioxide, so the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass is low. At the same time, it will not break at high temperatures like ordinary glass. Therefore, many industries choose high borosilicate glass as the production product. What other advantages does it have? This article will tell you through the following snippet.

Since most of the glass on the market is made of petroleum, and due to the characteristics of petroleum, these glasses can only be stacked in landfills, lakes or oceans, and will leave a lot of carbon in the recycling process. Moreover, because high borosilicate glass is made of natural materials rich in petroleum, its special characteristics make it easier to decompose than petroleum and has less impact on the environment.

Maybe you will use products made of plastic or stainless steel to taste pure water, and at the same time you will taste plastic or metallic during the tasting process. At this time, due to the solubility of plastic and steel, it will penetrate into the water over time, but products made of high borosilicate glass can effectively avoid this problem.

Borosilicate glass is ideal for the production of car window glass, substrates, glass wafers and other planar optical components, and is also very suitable for a large number of applications in lighting technology and electronics. For example, as a thermal filter product, it can also be used as a glass substrate for highly reflective dielectric mirror optics.

The difference between borosilicate glass and tempered glass:

  high borosilicate glassIt has excellent thermal shock resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient, and can be used in some special optical applications, such as instrument lenses. Tempered glass is more suitable for passenger cars because its physical properties make it difficult to form fragments when broken. Once tempered, it cannot be cut or physically altered. Both types of glass are stronger than ordinary glass and are more resistant to thermal shock.

As our main machine products for glass processing, the glass electric melting furnace has a pivotal position, so we want to tell you about the relevant knowledge of this glass electric melting furnace today, I hope you can read it carefully.


The degree of high temperature resistance of the glass electric melting furnace

The glass processing industry is an unpopular industry in China, and there are few people engaged in it, but our annual demand for glass is indeed the first in the world, and such a large demand-supply ratio has not led to a large number of practitioners to change careers, what is the reason for this? I think maybe I don't know much about professional glass electric melting furnace technology. Many people have never been involved in this field, and they don't know much about its technology, so this is the main factor in the current lack of talent in the glass industry.


What are the advantages of borosilicate glass and how it differs from ordinary glass

High borosilicate glass is a special glass material with low expansion rate, high temperature resistance, high hardness, high light transmittance and high chemical stability. Due to its excellent performance, it is widely used in solar energy, chemical and pharmaceutical packaging, electric light sources, craft jewelry and other industries. Its good performance has been widely recognized by all walks of life in the world, especially in the field of solar energy, its application is becoming more and more extensive, and developed regions such as Germany and the United States have also been more widely promoted. The high borosilicate glass fire resistance and physical strength make it ideal for laboratories. It is used in the manufacture of high-durability glass in laboratory equipment, such as beakers and test tubes. Glass cookware is another common usage. The U.S. standard plate is almost entirely made of borosilicate glass. High borosilicate glass measuring cups with scales can be used for measurement and are also widely used in American kitchens. High-quality high borosilicate glass tube processing equipment, high transparency and wear resistance. Wear-resistant, smooth surface, easy to clean, healthy and hygienic. It can be used for solar collector tubes, chemical instruments, dayware and lighting glass. It is characterized by a small coefficient of expansion and is not easy to break under sudden temperature changes of 0-200 degrees; Resistant to acid and alkali, water, corrosion, etc.!  High borosilicate glass, also known as hard glass, uses the properties of glass to conduct electricity at high temperatures. It is heated inside the glass to melt the glass.


The main cause of stones in the furnace of high borosilicate glass

There will be inclusions such as bubbles, nodules, crystals, and stones in the vitreous. These defects in the vitreous body greatly reduce the quality of the glass. In the case of borosilicate glass, stones are a dangerous defect in the vitreous. They are crystalline solid inclusions that appear in the glass and they have a great influence on the glass. They are more likely to be caused when borosilicate glass fiber precursors are stretched. Brushed guils and flying wires. Even if these stones do not cause breakage, they will greatly reduce the strength of the fiberglass.
