Borosilicate Glass vs Soda Lime Glass: Key Differences
By the K-Jhil Scientific technical team, drawing on 30+ years in industrial borosilicate glass and chemical process equipment. QUICK ANSWER: Borosilicate glass contains boron trioxide, which pulls its thermal expansion down to 3.3 x 10-6 /K and lets it survive sudden temperature swings near 160C. Soda lime glass skips the boron, expands roughly three times […]
