Glassware
Glass is an inorganic mixture of metal oxides fused
together at high temperatures, which upon
cooling, solidifies into the clear, rigid,
noncrystalline, versatile material known widely
across the globe.
Glassware Properties
• Chemical Properties
• Pyrex borosilicate glass has a very high resistance to attack from water, acids,
salt solutions, halogens and organic solvents. Only hydrofluoric acid, hot
concentrated phosphoric acid and strong alkaline solutions cause appreciable
corrosion of the glass.
• Hydrolytic resistance
• For many applications, it is important that laboratory glassware has excellent
hydrolytic resistance; e.g. during steam sterilization procedures, where
repeated exposure to water vapour at high temperature can leach out alkali
(Na+) ions.
• Acid resistance
• Glasses with a high percentage weight of silica (SiO2) are less likely to be
attacked by acids. Pyrex® borosilicate glass is over 80% silica and therefore
remarkably resistant to acids (with the exception of hot concentrated
phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid).
Glassware Properties
• Temperature resistance
• Pyrex borosilicate glass has excellent thermal properties at both high and low
temperatures. The maximum recommended working temperature for
laboratory glassware manufactured from Pyrex® is 500°C (for short periods of
time only). Special care should be taken at temperatures above 150°C to
ensure both heating and cooling are achieved in a slow and uniform manner
(see Care and Maintenance of Laboratory Glassware). Pyrex® also performs
excellently at lower temperatures. Pyrex can withstand conditions down to
approximately -192°C and is suitable for use with liquid nitrogen. In normal
laboratory use, temperatures of -70°C are easily sustained for lengthy periods.
Again special care should be taken to avoid sudden changes in temperature,
and cooling should be achieved in a slow uniform manner.
