Borosilicate glass was used originally by Corning Glass for all Pyrex products because of its high resistance to thermal shock. The new tempered soda lime glass does not have the same resistance. It is normal window glass that has been tempered to give it heat resistance. Tempered glass, though tougher than normal glass, can still be scratched. This compromises the integrity of the temper and, if moisture gets in, the scratches can cause problems. Borosilicate glass can be scratched as well, but it does not break in the same manner as tempered glass: instead of shattering into many small fragments, it snaps in large pieces.
