Technical Data

Chemical Durability
ASMI glassware in highly resistance to water, neutral and acid solutions, concentrated acids and their mixtures as well as to chloride, bromine, iodine, and organic matters. Even during extended period of reaction and at temperature above 1000C, its chemical resistance exceeds that of most metals and other materials. It can withstand repeated dry and wet sterilization without surface deterioration and subsequent contamination. Resistance to attack of various chemicals is shown under. Only hydrofluoric acid, very hot phosphoric acid and alkaline solutions increasingly attack the glass surface with rising concentration

Fabrication With Borosilicate Glass
Due to low expansion of glass and easy workability, this glass can be shaped, formed, joined into complicated apparatus. Even an analyst in his own laboratory can do it. He can keep on changing till he gets what he needs. In case where annealing in a controlled oven is difficult he can do so by flame annealing, which is also great advantage.

Optical Properties
Laboratory glassware made from Borosilicate Glass shows no noticeable absorption in the visible region of the spectrum. It appear consequently clear and colorless.
