Borosilicate glass
A type of glass resistant to temperature changes and widely used in smoking accessories and laboratory equipment.
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass containing, among other components, silica and boron oxide. It is valued for its resistance to thermal shock and its durability, making it a material commonly used in laboratories, industry and accessories related to hemp and cannabis.
Thanks to its properties, borosilicate glass withstands temperature variations better than many other types of glass. It is also known for its transparency and chemical resistance.
A widely used material
Borosilicate glass is frequently used to manufacture bongs, pipes, bubblers, rigs, bowls and other glass accessories. Its robustness helps extend the service life of this equipment.
Thermal resistance
One of the main characteristics of borosilicate glass is its ability to withstand rapid temperature changes. This property distinguishes it from ordinary glass, which is generally more sensitive to thermal shock.
Found in many accessories
Today, borosilicate glass is considered a benchmark material for manufacturing glass accessories intended for smoking or vaporisation. It is also used in many scientific and technical devices.
