Application fields of borosilicate glass

[China Glass Net] The refractory properties and physical strength of borosilicate glass make it ideal for use in laboratories. It is used in the manufacture of laboratory equipment such as beakers and test tubes with high durability. In addition, the small exposure of the borosilicate glass allows the volume of the borosilicate heat-resistant container to provide an accurate measurement over time. The fire resistance and physical strength of borosilicate glass make it very suitable for laboratory use. It is used in the manufacture of laboratory equipment, such as beakers and test tubes with high durability. In addition, the small exposure of the borosilicate glass allows the volume of the borosilicate heat-resistant container to be measured accurately over time.

In the mid-20th century, borosilicate glass tube coolant (usually distilled water) was used by electronic equipment based on high-power vacuum tubes, such as commercial broadcast transmitters.

Glass cookers for home decor glassware are another common use. Borosilicate glass pie plates are almost American standard plates. Borosilicate glass measuring cups marked with scale marks are also widely used in American kitchens.

Aquarium heaters are sometimes made of borosilicate glass. Due to its high heat resistance, it can withstand the large temperature difference between water and Ni Cr alloy heating elements.

Many high-quality flashlights use borosilicate glass as the lens. This allows higher light transmittance through the lens than plastic and low-quality glass.

Professional lighters and pipes are made of borosilicate glass. The high heat resistance enables the tubes to withstand longer periods of time, and these tubes are also more durable.

Most prefabricated glass guitar slides are also borosilicate glass.

New scrubbing techniques have enabled the use of glass balls and other contemporary art. In the 1980s and 1990s, the rapid development of borosilicate glass in the Northstar palette promoted the modern glass art movement, whose main purpose was to provide economic growth for a wide range of borosilicate glass suppliers. Boron is usually used in the form of brushed glass blowing. Artists have created a range of products, from jewelry, kitchenware to sculpture, and art 70,955.

Borosilicate glass is sometimes used in high-quality beverage glassware. Borosilicate glass provides durability for kitchen utensils and glassware and is compatible with microwave ovens and dishwashers.

Most astronomical telescope components are made of glass because of their low coefficient of thermal expansion, borosilicate glass. This makes the optical surface very precise, changes little with temperature, and matches the glass mirror assembly to "track" temperature changes and maintain the characteristics of the optical system.

The more common optical glass lens manufacturing tool uses SCHOTT Shoal-7 (or equivalent from other manufacturers), which is a very fine borosilicate glass crown. It is also named 517642 glass, with a refractive index of 1.517 and an Abbe number of 64. Other more expensive borosilicate glasses, such as Short B270 or equivalent, can be used to make "Crown Glass" lenses. The cost of ordinary low borosilicate glass used to make kitchenware and even the reflective telescope cannot be used to deal with low-grade and high-quality lenses of this glass type due to stripes and inclusions.

Due to its high strength and heat resistance, borosilicate is also a material for vacuum tube solar thermal utilization technology.

Borosilicate glass also enjoys a high reputation in MEMS of micro mechanical devices, and has developed a part of etching wafer stack used for bonding etching of borosilicate glass in semiconductor industry.

The insulating bricks on the space shuttle are coated with borosilicate glass. Refractive borosilicate glass is used by lighting manufacturers.

Its main performance indicators have reached the international ISO standard, which is the same as 7740 materials of Corning Company in the United States and 50 materials of Schott Company in Germany. Compared with ordinary glass, it has no toxic side effects. Its mechanical properties, thermal stability, water resistance, alkali resistance, acid resistance and other properties have been greatly improved. It can be widely used in chemical industry, aerospace, military, family, hospitals and other fields. This product has been widely used in the production of lamps, tableware, standard plates, telescopes, washing machine observation holes, microwave ovens, solar water heaters and other products in China.

Solar water heater is the main material of vacuum collector, which mainly uses its good light transmittance, good mechanical properties and good impact resistance. Some manufacturers use low iron glass, which lacks the above properties, and its weight and appearance are different from those of high borosilicate. (Dark and light colors. Generally used by small manufacturers)
