Material
High boron glass, also called borosilicate glass, is a special glass material composed of boron, silicon, oxygen and other elements. In contrast, ordinary water glass cups are made of a mixture of boron, silicon, oxygen, sodium and other elements. As the boron content of high boron glass cups is higher than ordinary water glass cups, so high boron glass cups are more heat-resistant, acid and alkali resistance, hard, high transparency, and not easy to rupture deformation.
Processing
High-boron glass cup with high temperature and high pressure to strengthen the processing technology, the strength of the glass cup to optimize the adjustment; and ordinary water glass cup processing technology is relatively simple. The production of high boron glass cup is more difficult, and the production cycle is also longer, so the price is relatively high compared to ordinary water glass cup.
Performance
1, temperature performance
Boron glass cup has a very high temperature resistance, can withstand -20 ° C - 150 ° C temperature change without rupture; while the ordinary water glass can only withstand a lower temperature range of hot water or cold drinks, encountered in high temperatures are prone to rupture.
2、Acid and alkali resistance
Boron glass cup of acid and alkali resistance than ordinary water glass is stronger, able to resist most of the chemical corrosion; while ordinary water glass is easily corroded by acids and alkalis.
3、Transparency
Because the material of high boron glass cup is more high-quality, so its transparency is higher than ordinary water glass.
Service life
As the durability of the high boron glass cup is stronger, generally can be used for a longer period of time, while the ordinary water glass is easy to damage, need to be replaced more often.
High boron glass and ordinary water glass in the material, processing technology, performance and other aspects of the existence of large differences. If the quality and performance of the cup has high requirements, it is recommended to choose high boron glass; but if just for ordinary home use, the choice of ordinary water glass is not wrong.
