Is it safe to ingest water boiled in borosilicate glass?
It's safe to drink water boiled in this glass IF no poisons have ever been put in the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass originally used to make Pyrex cookware--in Europe they still use it, but in the US a different glass is used that doesn't break as easily when dropped.
Moderately thermostable glassware?
Thermostable glass is a borosilicate glass.
What material is a buret made from?
Borosilicate glass
Will fluoride react with borosilicate glass?
Yes, glass doesn't resist to HF and other compounds of fluorine.
What glass property must glassware have in order to be heated?
Bottles, Petri dishes, Erlenmeyer flasks, Berzelius flasks, graduated cyllinders, test tubes, funnels, glass crucibles, glass dishes, watch glasses, round-bottom flasks, distillation columns, condensers, volumetric flasks, weighting vials and many others.

How much does borosilicate glass weigh per cubic centimeter?
The density of borosilicate glass is approx. 2,23 g/cm3.

Thermostable glass is a borosilicate glass.
What material is a buret made from?
Borosilicate glass
Is oven safe glass ware and microwave safe glass ware the same?
Pyrex (the traditional borosilicate glass Pyrex made by Corning before 1998) is safe for both applications. Avoid the more recent Pyrex made by World Kitchen. The January 2011 issue of Consumer Reports indicates that it is not safe.
What are borostix used for?
Borostix are rectangular glass rods used in the borosilicate glass-art industry.
Will fluoride react with borosilicate glass?
Yes, glass doesn't resist to HF and other compounds of fluorine.
Decorative glass why is it not food safe?
There could be heavy metals and/or other toxic elements in the glass which could leach into the food.
What is the use of boric oxide to improve the quality of glass?
Borosilicate glass is resistant to higher temperatures; this glass is used for chemical labware.
What glass property must glassware have in order to be heated?
Bottles, Petri dishes, Erlenmeyer flasks, Berzelius flasks, graduated cyllinders, test tubes, funnels, glass crucibles, glass dishes, watch glasses, round-bottom flasks, distillation columns, condensers, volumetric flasks, weighting vials and many others.
Does pyrex hold on to caustic chemicals?
Pyrex is borosilicate glass and like all glass does not absorb any chemicals.
What is borosilicate glassware?
Glass types are named after the fluxes that are used to lower the melting temperature of the grains of silica sand. Borosilicate, therefore, contains boron, or a derivative, such as boric acid, or borax, to do this. Borosilicate glass is most often used for cookery or in laboratory apparatus, as it is very resistant to thermal shock and corrosion by acids.
