Description
Borosilicate Glass Tube is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glass tubes are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (3.3 × 10−6 K−1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.
