5 Myths About Borosilicate Glass
5 Myths About Borosilicate Glass
SCHOTT's Tina Gallo tackles five myths that may be causing engineers to underestimate borosilicate glass.
It's often assumed that glass is fragile and cannot withstand rapid temperature changes, survive harsh industrial environments, or keep pace with modern technologies. Yet borosilicate glass continues to play a critical role in applications where thermal stability, durability, and precision are essential.
