Glass Types (Sample CC Flash Cards)

Sample lang!!!

High Thermal Resistant Glass

Borosilicate glass with low alkali content that resists heat corrosion and thermal shock, such as Pyrex, Kimax, Exax, and Corex.

Corex

Glass type 6 times stronger than borosilicate glass, ideal for higher temperature thermometers, graduated cylinders, and centrifuge tubes.

Vycor

Alumina-silicate glass suitable for applications involving high temperatures, drastic heat shock, and extreme chemical treatments, heatable to 900°C.

High Silica Glass

Glass with 96% silica content, comparable to fused quartz, known for its thermal endurance, chemical stability, and electrical characteristics.

Low Actinic Glass

Amber or red-colored glass designed to reduce light transmission, ideal for protecting heat-labile substances in the 300-500nm range.
