Your misunderstanding of high borosilicate glass




The main materials of our common glasses include crystal glass, ordinary glass and high borosilicate glass. Most manufacturers use high borosilicate glass to make high-grade glasses. So far, most of the products we have seen on the market are marked with high borosilicate glass. Many people think that chemical elements are harmful to their health when they hear them. This is wrong. We know that glasses are generally considered to be the healthiest drinking water containers because of their stability and transparency, but many people will think that high borosilicate glass will precipitate lead in a hot environment, and lead is a toxic substance, so we can conclude that drinking hot water with high borosilicate will lead poisoning. Do you think this statement is correct,   Glass product  ?

High borosilicate glass is the mainstream of glass containers in today's society. Most of the dozens of glasses in supermarkets are made of it, which is light and strong, both hot and cold, and has high cost performance. The commonly used glass double glasses, ice cream glasses, whisky glasses and the like are basically made of this material. In fact, high borosilicate glass does not contain lead. Its high temperature resistance, high chemical stability and low expansion rate are outstanding, so it is widely used in pharmaceutical packaging, craft accessories, drinking containers and other product industries. But the leaded glass that everyone thinks is actually crystal glass, which is the high-end material in the glass. Crystal glass has many advantages, such as high light transmittance, more light cut, excellent echo, light and even. In addition to the common light green ordinary glass (as long as the quartz is melted, the heavy metal content is relatively high), there is also the lead glass used for X-ray and radiation shielding in the medical and military industries. We rarely see this kind of glass at ordinary times, so don't worry.




High borosilicate glass

The smelting technology of lead glass was discovered by the English in the 17th century. The biggest difference from ordinary glass is that it contains 18% to 40% lead oxide. Because it contains lead, which makes glass easier to soften, cut and sculpt, and has strong light transmittance, lead glass is used to make handicrafts, optical instruments and advanced utensils, and the cost is much higher than ordinary high borosilicate glass. So you don't have to worry about the lead in the high borosilicate glass you use, because the manufacturer won't spend a lot of money to make a container that is harmful to your health to sell.




For the misunderstanding of high borosilicate glass, we don't have to persist in heating to release lead poisoning. Meiyang Glass also often makes high borosilicate glasses for customers. We have a good understanding of its raw materials and the high borosilicate glasses are safe.
