Chemical Properties
High resistance right down the line
Acids, alkalis and organic substances have virtually no negative impact on BOROFLOAT® glass. Its high resistance to water is another important performance benefit for many industrial applications. Highly sensitive measuring instruments used, for example, in medical and analytical technologies to provide accurate, and at times critical, readings can be negatively influenced if not adequately protected. The outstanding hydrolytic stability of BOROFLOAT® glass has cemented its position as the specialty glass of choice for laboratories everywhere, including in the chemical industry.
In complex products such as bio-chips, DNA- sequencers and inspection panels for reaction tanks, the superior powers of resistance of BOROFLOAT® have become indispensable in research and industry. Its low yet extremely stable alkali content make it the ideal material for hi-tech, technically challenging applications.
