OP7007 Borosilicate Glass Sheet

Borosilicate Glass Plates Description

Borosilicate glass plates are designed for applications requiring high thermal stability and excellent resistance to chemical attacks. This material primarily consists of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with boron oxide (B₂O₃) and sodium oxide (Na₂O), making it suitable for scientific glassware, laboratory equipment, and industrial applications. It exhibits impressive thermal resistance, allowing it to withstand significant temperature variations without breaking or shattering. Due to its high transparency and clarity, it is suitable for optical and precision applications, ensuring outstanding performance in a range of challenging environments.

Applications of Borosilicate Glass Plates

• Scientific and Laboratory Equipment: Due to its thermal and chemical resistance, it is used for beakers, test tubes, and other laboratory apparatus.
• Optical Applications: Ideal for lenses, windows, and other optical components.
• Industrial Use: Employed in high-temperature processes, including reactors, furnaces, and other equipment exposed to harsh conditions.
• Lighting: Utilised in the manufacture of lighting fixtures that require high heat resistance.

Borosilicate Glass Plates Packaging

Our borosilicate glass plates are carefully packaged to prevent transport damage. The plates are vacuum-sealed and delivered in customizable packaging options to ensure secure delivery in pristine condition.
