As the core material in the field of glass packaging, borosilicate glass is widely used in different industries such as medicine, cosmetics, and food due to its strong resistance to temperature differences, high chemical stability, and excellent light transmittance. Glass with different borosilicate contents (low, medium, and high) has different performances, and the safety and cost efficiency of packaging are also very different. Based on 20 years of industry experience, Nantong Jiahua Glass Products Co., Ltd. (JHGlasse.com) will analyze the application areas and how to choose the three major borosilicate glasses for you.
Low borosilicate glass: An economical solution
Boron content: 5%-8%
Features: low cost, convenient processing, basic temperature resistance
Typical applications:
Aromatherapy essential oil bottles
Household spray bottles
Ordinary cosmetic containers
