What is the difference between soda lime glass and borosilicate glass beads?
Due to different materials, there are obvious differences in product performance. Customers can choose glass beads of suitable materials according to different usage requirements.
1. Product hardness: Borosilicate glass is higher
2. Product density: Borosilicate glass is higher
3. Differences in ingredients
Soda-lime glass: Mainly composed of silica, calcium oxide and sodium oxide, etc., commonly used in flat glass, bottles, light bulbs, etc. 12
Borosilicate glass: The main ingredients are silicon dioxide and boron trioxide, with a higher boron content.
Performance difference
Soda-lime glass:
It has good chemical stability and thermal stability, and is safe and non-toxic for daily use. 3
It has good impact resistance, but poor optical properties and low light transmittance. 2
Borosilicate glass:
It has higher heat resistance and lower thermal expansion coefficient, and can withstand larger temperature differences. twenty three
Has good optical stability and corrosion resistance, high light transmittance
