Which Is Safer, Borosilicate Glass or Regular Glass?

High borosilicate glass refers to boron, oxygen, silicon as the main raw material made of a glass material, which is mainly characterized by high boron content, low silicon content, as well as high hardness, good impact resistance.

 

High borosilicate glass is safer.

 

Differences between high borosilicate glass and ordinary glass

 

High borosilicate glass refers to boron, oxygen, silicon as the main raw material made of a glass material, which is mainly characterized by high boron content, low silicon content, as well as high hardness, good impact resistance. While ordinary glass is quartz sand and other raw materials, formed after high temperature melting of silicate glass materials.

The safety of borosilicate glass

 

Due to the high hardness and good impact resistance of borosilicate glass, it is safer and more reliable in some applications. For example, in the manufacture of cell phone screens, solar panels and other fields, borosilicate glass has gradually replaced ordinary glass, becoming a more preferred material.

 

In addition, high borosilicate glass can withstand higher temperatures, has better chemical stability and corrosion resistance, so in some special environments, high borosilicate glass is also widely used in laboratories, medical equipment and other fields.

The safety of ordinary glass

 

Although ordinary glass has low manufacturing cost and is easy to process, its hardness and impact resistance are not as good as high borosilicate glass. In some specific application scenarios, such as in construction, automotive and other fields, ordinary glass needs to be further reinforced or replaced with other materials to ensure its safety.

 

How to choose safer glass materials？

 

When choosing glass materials, various factors need to be considered according to the specific application environment and needs. If you need higher hardness, impact resistance and high temperature resistance, then high borosilicate glass is a safer and more reliable choice; if the cost is more important, and the application of the scene is relatively smooth, then ordinary glass is also a viable option.

 

In short, in the application of glass materials, the need to choose according to the specific circumstances of the comprehensive consideration of various factors in order to ensure more safe and reliable use of the effect.
