WHAT DOES BOROSILICATE GLASS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Borosilicate glass

Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with the main glass-forming constituents silica and boron trioxide. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion, making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass. Such glass is less subject to thermal stress and is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles. Borosilicate glass is sold under such trade names as Borcam, Borosil, Suprax, Kimax, Pyrex, Endural, Schott, or Refmex.

Definition of borosilicate glass in the English dictionary

The definition of borosilicate glass in the dictionary is any of a range of heat- and chemical-resistant glasses, such as Pyrex, prepared by fusing together boron oxide, silicon dioxide, and, usually, a metal oxide.
