Dear buddy,

I would like to give few facts about borosilicate glass,that I know of...

Characteristics of borosilicate glass

German scientist, Otto Schott, developed a low-expansion glass called borosilicate glass, but used it mostly to make products for industrial and scientific settings, such as laboratory glass.

Boroslicate glass can be readily identified by it's refractive index, 1.474.

Borosilicate glass is made by adding boric oxide to the glass mixture.

Genuine borosilicate glass is very hard / impossible to cut using traditional scoring techniques.

Compared to similar glassware, borosilicate glass can withstand blunt force impact better. It has a Shear modulus of 26.5 – 27 GPa and Knoop hardness of 400 – 480 at 20°C.

Hope it helps.

Borosilicate glass's characteristics

  • Otto Schott, a German chemist, invented borosilicate glass, a low-expansion glass that was primarily employed in industrial and scientific applications, such as laboratory glass.
  • The refractive index of 1.474 distinguishes boroslicate glass from others.
  • The addition of boric oxide to the glass mixture produces borosilicate glass.
  • Using typical scoring procedures, genuine borosilicate glass is extremely difficult to cut.
  • When compared to other types of glass, borosilicate glass is more resistant to blunt force impacts. At 20°C, it possesses a Knoop hardness of 400–480 and a Shear modulus of 26.5–27 GPa.
