2
New cards

Color of Glass

Can be modified by adding metallic oxides that vary in amount and type

3
New cards

Soda Glass

Commercial glass that is the most commonly used. Medium-low thermal shock

4
New cards

Borosilicate (Pyrex)

Soda glass that has been altered using oxides to increase thermal conductivity

5
New cards

Toughened

Glass that has been heated to its melting point and then blasted with cold air. Increased brittleness

6
New cards

Laminated

Layers of glass with plastic sheets between them. When impacted, the glass fragments are held in place, preventing cracks from growing
