OP7015 Borosilicate Glass Rod

Borosilicate Glass Bars Description

Borosilicate glass bars are manufactured from a specific mixture of silicon dioxide and boron trioxide, which endows them with exceptional resistance to thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and high temperatures. These bars are commonly used in the production of optical components, laboratory glassware, and high-performance equipment that requires durability under harsh conditions. Borosilicate glass bars maintain their clarity and strength even under extreme conditions, making them ideal for scientific and industrial precision applications.

Applications for Borosilicate Glass Bars

• Optical Equipment: Used in lenses, prisms, and other components that demand high clarity and thermal resistance.
• Laboratory Equipment: Utilised in laboratory glassware such as test tubes, beakers, and bars, as they can withstand high temperatures and chemical exposure.
• Industrial Uses: Employed in industries where high heat and chemical resistance are essential, such as chemical processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Borosilicate Glass Bar Packaging

Our borosilicate glass bars are carefully packaged to avoid breakage and maintain their high quality during storage and transport. They are typically wrapped in secure, padded materials to ensure safe delivery.
