The Differences Among Borosilicate Glass, Tempered Glass And Soda Lime Glass
First, these 3 types of glass are consist of different chemical substances. Borosilicate glass is consist of SiO2, B2O3 and Al2O3. The main constituents of tempered glass and soda-lime glass are SiO2, Na2O and CaO.
In terms of main features and applications, high borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent heat resistance, making it safe for use in ovens, microwaves, dishwashers and freezers, for which it’s widely used in making kitchen bakeware, high quality drink ware and laboratory glassware.
Tempered glass owns superior thermal stress for improving mechanical strength and safety at low temperatures, but there is a risk of spontaneous explosion if used in ovens and microwaves. It is used in vehicle windshields and windows as well as kitchen glassware for low temperatures.
Soda-lime glass is characterized by transparency and non-flammability. In addition, it costs less, making it a more economical choice in glass art ware and kitchen glassware used in low temperature. But the lower price also means inevitable drawbacks that it cannot be used in an oven or microwave.
After some detailed explanations, people will surely be able to choose according to the needs of the usage scenarios. DK provides different choices for our customers, and please feel free to contact us for any demands.
