Glass containers are typically made from melted silica, which is a natural material and does not contain any chemicals that would leach into food or drink. However, some glass products may have coatings or decorations applied to the surface, which may contain chemicals. It is always advisable to check the labeling or contact the manufacturer for specific information about the product in question.

Is a broken glass a chemical hazard?
Not directly. It can be a physical hazard. The only connection to chemical hazards is that dangerous chemicals might be stored in glass containers, and released by breakage. Laboratory containers may contain many dangerous chemicals, and individual chemicals that are dangerous if combined.
Why acid stored in glass containers rather than in plastic?
Acids are typically stored in glass containers because some acids will destroy plastic vessels.
Does pyrex hold on to caustic chemicals?
Pyrex is borosilicate glass and like all glass does not absorb any chemicals.
Why is glass a good substances for storing chemicals?
Glass is unreactive with most chemicals. It is also very stable - not deforming, melting, or degrading with time. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3 × 10−6 /°C at 20°C), making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass. Such glass is less subject to thermal stress and is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles. Glass also tends to be clear, which makes it easier to determine what is inside the container. There are some chemicals that cannot be stored in glass because the react with it - such as hydrofluoric acid. Other chemicals are not stored in glass because as they decompose, they release gasses that can build up in pressure to the point that they will burst the container. Of course glass does not usually have enough tensile strength to contain gases under pressure. Some chemicals are photoreactive - i.e. they decompose, polymerize or otherwise react when exposed to light. Since most glass is clear, such chemicals are usually better stored in opaque containers.
Explain why water is wet on the sides of any glass containers?
Water condensation can collect on the sides of containers with cold contents, especially glass containers. This condensation happens due to the water vapor in the air turning into a liquid as it hits the cold air that forms through conduction against the container. Glass containers more readily collect vapor due to their ability to conduct heat well.

What kind of glass is used in lab containers to heat chemicals?
everything you dream about haha
What are the components of chemical containers?
Chemical containers are typically made from specialized plastic designed to not react or melt from stored chemicals. Some chemical containers may also be glass based.
Why are most chemicals stored in the glass or plastic containers rather than a metallic ones?
As plastic and glass material are non reactive they are used to store chemicals. If we will store it in some reactive material the chemical substances will loose their property,ultimately it will give some other substance.
What year did they make DuPont Zerex anti-freeze in glass bottles?
Zerex was developed by Ashland chemicals. The mixture came out in 1991 and was never sold in glass containers.
What containers are okay for a microwave?
glass containers
What are glass containers made of?

What has the author Robert T Matthews written?
Robert T. Matthews has written: 'A collection of old glass candy containers' -- subject(s): Collectors and collecting, Glass candy containers 'Antiquers' of glass candy containers' -- subject(s): Catalogs, Glass candy containers
Why is using glass containers better than using plastic ones?
Plastic containers contain some harmful chemicals that may effect your health. They also fill up the landfills for longer than you will be alive because they do not disintegrate.
What is Avon glass?
Avon glass is glass collectibles that were distributed by Avon. Some were perfume containers or cologne containers. Some are rare and valuable today.
How do you fetch a small amount of H2SO4?
in plastic containers or glass containers
What advantage do glass and plastic containers have over aluminum cans?
An advantage that glass and plastic containers have over aluminum cans is that glass and plastic containers, after used, can be washed, disinfected, and used again. Also now both glass and plastic can also be recycled.
