Borosilicate Glass
Borosilicate glass represents unmatched standardized glass for construction of plant and piping in the chemical, dyestuff, food pharmaceutical, petrochemical industries. Its steadily growing use is due to many advantages over conventional materials.
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Smooth pore free surface.
- Transparency
- Catalytic inertness.
- No effect on taste and odour.
- Physiological inertness.
Borosilicate glass is chosen for its unique chemical and physical properties. Borosilicate glass can be considered as being composed of oxides. Silica (SiO2) Magnesia (MgO) and lead oxide (PbO) are the principle modifiers/fluxes.
The chemical and physical properties of any glass depends on a varying degree on chemical composition of glass.
