What is BOROFLOAT?
Borofloat® provides a high transmission of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelength. Its low alkali content makes it a good electrical insulator. Its high boron content can be used as a neutron absorber glass for nuclear energy applications. Borofloat® is environmentally friendly and made of natural raw materials.
What is Boro Schott glass?
BOROFLOAT® 33 is a high-quality borosilicate float glass with outstanding properties for a wide range of applications. This is a unique float glass that can compete with the best technical-grade flat glass in the world. SCHOTT manufactures the glass using the Microfloat process and the latest technology.
What is b270 glass?
Highly transparent glass B 270® i is highly resistant to solar radiation and offers high transmittance in the visible wavelength range. It also has a fire-polished surface and offers high chemical stability. The crown glass is available in a wide range of thicknesses and various in-stock formats.
What are the properties of borosilicate glass?

- Laboratory glassware.
- Pharmaceutical glass tubing.
- Cookware and kitchen implements.
- Optical equipment.
- Lighting technology.
What is the specific heat capacity of borosilicate glass?
0.83 J/(g⋅K)
Borosilicate glass is less dense (about 2.23 g/cm3) than typical soda-lime glass due to the low atomic mass of boron. Its mean specific heat capacity at constant pressure (20–100 °C) is 0.83 J/(g⋅K), roughly one fifth of water’s.
What is the difference between glass and borosilicate glass?
The main difference between soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass is their silicon dioxide and boron trioxide content. The borosilicate glass is harder than regular glass as it can be moulded into more complex shapes. It is also more resistant to acid erosion (which is why you commonly find it used in chemistry labs).
Why borosilicate glass is called Pyrex glass?
Explanation: Borosilicates are known for having very LOW coefficients of thermal expansion…and thus they can be cooled or heated rapidly, i.e. they are VERY resistant to thermal shock. The name Pyrex was trademarked by Corning in 1908 it is probably well out of trademark, mind you I am no trademark attorney.
What is the process of borosilicate glass?
Manufacturing process Borosilicate glass is created by combining and melting boric oxide, silica sand, soda ash, and alumina. Since borosilicate glass melts at a higher temperature than ordinary silicate glass, some new techniques were required for industrial production.
What is the difference between bak4 and bak7?
BAK-4 is a high density glass of better optical quality than BK-7. The difference is the quality of glass and anti-reflective coatings. The design of the prisms can affect the quality of the exit pupil.
What kind of optical transmission does Borofloat glass offer?
BOROFLOAT ® is a high-quality, clear-transparent glass that offers an excellent and uniform optical transmission from the visible to the infrared spectral range.
What are the properties of Borofloat glass from Schott?
BOROFLOAT ® 33. High-quality borosilicate glass from SCHOTT. Special Properties. High transmission of visible and infrared light. High operating temperature range: – up to 450 °C at permanent load. – up to 500 °C at temporary load (< 10 h) High UV-transparency.
What is the excitation wavelength of Borofloat 33?
Inherent fluoresence of BOROFLOAT ® 33 and soda-lime flat glass with an excitation wavelength of 488 nm. Glass thickness = 6.5 mm. Inherent fluoresence of BOROFLOAT ® 33. Some materials have the ability to emit electromagnetic radiation after being activated by high energy radiation.
What can Borofloat 33 glass be used for?
Thanks to its low alkali content, BOROFLOAT® 33 works as agood electric insulator. Due to its high boron content, BOROFLOAT® 33 can be used as aneutron absorber glass in nuclear energy applications. BOROFLOAT® 33 is environmentally friendly and made of natural raw materi- als.
