Advantages Of High Borosilicate Glass Cups

High Borosilicate Glass is actually not a "novelty". It was widely used in laboratory equipment manufacturing as early as the late 19th century because of its advantages of heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and impact resistance. Imagine how ordinary glass can withstand high-temperature chemical reactions in a laboratory? So, this more stable glass emerged!

The key difference between high borosilicate glass and ordinary glass is that it can withstand drastic temperature changes. This means that you can safely pour boiling water into it without worrying about sudden explosion. Compared to ordinary glass that shatters with a 'pop' sound, high borosilicate Glass Cups are much safer. Especially in the circle of friends who like to make tea and drink hot water, it is a "hot commodity".

When it comes to safety, many people are most concerned about whether it will release harmful substances. We can breathe a sigh of relief here - according to the latest scientific research in 2024, high borosilicate glass will not release harmful substances under normal usage conditions. Because its chemical composition is very stable, it is different from plastic products that "fade" and "lose their flavor" when used at high temperatures.

It is worth mentioning that high borosilicate glass does not contain harmful chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), which makes it more suitable for healthy drinking water than plastic cups. Are you still using plastic cups? It's time to make a small change and add points to your health!

Of course, no material is perfect. Although high borosilicate glass cups are resistant to heat and impact, they are not indestructible. If accidentally dropped, broken glass shards can still pose a safety hazard. Therefore, we suggest handling with care in daily use, especially for the elderly and children, who need to be more careful when operating.

The material structure of ordinary glass cups is relatively simple, and their heat resistance is also relatively poor. Have you ever experienced the dilemma of pouring hot water into a regular glass and suddenly hearing a "click" sound? That's because ordinary glass has a high coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes it prone to stress cracks when exposed to high temperatures. In contrast, the thermal expansion coefficient of high borosilicate glass cups is very low, and even if boiling water is suddenly poured in, they are not easily broken.

In addition, high borosilicate glass cups have another commendable advantage - they are more durable. After long-term use, ordinary glass cups may have small scratches, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. High borosilicate glass cups have higher hardness, are less prone to scratches, and have a longer service life.
