Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3u00A0u00D7u00A010u22126 Ku22121 at 20u00A0u00B0C), making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass...
A hard glass with a higher melting temperature used in flameworking, especially in larger projects. Its lower COE makes it easier to rework and finished pieces more resistant to thermal shock
A family of glass compositions in which boron trioxide and silicon dioxide are major components.
