The cross-border legend of high borosilicate glass
From the laboratory to the kitchen: the cross-border legend of high borosilicate glass
In the hall of materials science, high borosilicate glass writes a legendary story of going from professional laboratories to thousands of households. This special material, known as the “glass noble”, is reshaping our scientific research and life with its excellent performance.
Walk into any modern laboratory, and you will find high borosilicate glass everywhere. It can easily cope with the extreme temperature difference challenge of -30℃ to 500℃, allowing researchers to conduct high temperature reaction experiments without worries; its near-perfect chemical inertness ensures that the experimental data is not disturbed by the container; and its ultra-high transparency provides an excellent window for observing the reaction process. From precise burettes to durable culture dishes, from thick reactors to thin optical lenses, high borosilicate glass supports every important moment of modern scientific research.
When this magical material walks out of the laboratory, it continues to write a new chapter in the kitchen. Modern housewives are pleasantly surprised to find that fresh-keeping boxes made of borosilicate glass can be put directly from the refrigerator into the oven; exquisite glass tea sets will not burst even if they are suddenly exposed to boiling water; transparent baking molds allow the baking process of cakes to be clearly seen. Michelin chefs even regard it as a kitchen artifact – it can withstand direct burning by open flames and perfectly present the true color of ingredients.
The cross-border journey of high borosilicate glass continues to extend: it is used in the medical field to make high-precision syringes to ensure the purity of drugs; the photovoltaic industry uses it to produce solar panels to convert sunlight energy; high-end lamps use it to make lampshades to ensure soft and uniform light. The application of this material is constantly expanding, witnessing every wonderful moment of technology changing life.
