What else can I help you with?
How can you determine if glass is borosilicate?
To determine if glass is borosilicate, you can perform a test using a polariscope or a refractometer to measure its refractive index. Borosilicate glass has a higher refractive index compared to regular glass, which can help identify it.
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.
Will fluoride react with borosilicate glass?
Yes, glass doesn't resist to HF and other compounds of fluorine.
Is borosilicate glass polar?
Borosilicate glass is generally considered non-polar due to its amorphous structure and the lack of significant dipole moments in its chemical bonds. The presence of boron oxide and silica contributes to its thermal and chemical resistance but does not impart polarity. As a result, borosilicate glass does not interact strongly with polar solvents and is often used in laboratory glassware for its inert properties.
Does Armour Etch work on borosilicate glass?
Yes, Armour Etch can work on borosilicate glass, but it may not be as effective as on other types of glass due to the composition of borosilicate glass.

Is borosilicate glass breakable?
Yes, borosilicate glass is breakable, but it is more resistant to thermal shock and can withstand higher temperatures compared to regular glass.
How much does borosilicate glass weigh per cubic centimeter?
The density of borosilicate glass is approx. 2,23 g/cm3.
What is borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion, making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
Moderately thermostable glassware?
Thermostable glass is a borosilicate glass.
Can borosilicate glass break easily?
Borosilicate glass is known for its durability and resistance to thermal shock, making it less likely to break easily compared to other types of glass.
Does borosilicate glass break easily?
Borosilicate glass is known for its durability and resistance to thermal shock, making it less likely to break easily compared to other types of 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.
Does borosilicate glass break easily compared to other types of glass?
Borosilicate glass is less likely to break compared to other types of glass due to its higher resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion.
What are borostix used for?
Borostix are rectangular glass rods used in the borosilicate glass-art industry.
