High borosilicate glass can be used to hold boiling water. High borosilicate glass has good high temperature resistance, with a strain temperature difference of about 520°C, and can withstand an instantaneous temperature difference of about 150°C. Therefore, it is safe to hold boiling water in it, and it will not burst or release harmful substances. High borosilicate glass can indeed hold boiling water safely. Its excellent heat resistance comes from the high boron content of 12%-15% in the raw materials. This special ratio makes the glass expansion coefficient extremely low. Shanghai Changqi International Trade Co., Ltd. is a professional chemical material supplier. Our main products such as polyisobutylene and rubber additives also focus on material stability. Although the store does not sell glass products yet, according to chemical industry standards, high borosilicate glass can be used for a long time below 400°C, and the short-term tolerance temperature can reach 600°C, which is far higher than the boiling water temperature. In daily use, it is recommended to avoid sudden cooling and heating to extend the service life. For example, it is not advisable to pour boiling water immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator.
