高硼硅玻璃—— 比普通玻璃 更安全
高硼硅玻璃(又名硬质玻璃),是利用玻璃在高温状态下导电的特性,通过在玻璃内部加热来实现玻璃熔化,经先进生产工艺加工而成。它是一种低膨胀率、耐高温、高强度、高硬度、高透光率和高化学稳定性的特殊玻璃材料,对人体是没有害的,用于我们常见的微波炉专用玻璃转盘,耐热茶壶茶杯等。现在市面上很多玻璃杯子都是高硼硅玻璃做的,这种杯子相比传统的玻璃更耐高温和低温,是公认更安全的玻璃材质。

为什么会说高硼硅玻璃更安全呢?因为高硼硅玻璃具有非常低的热膨胀系数,约是普通玻璃的三分之一。这一特点更好地减少因温度梯度应力造成的影响,从而具有更强的抗断裂性能。由于其形状偏差非常小,这也使它成为望远镜、反射镜中必不可少的材料。虽然其抗热冲击能力较强,但不代表一定不会因温度的迅速变化导致破裂,正常玻璃破碎都是粉碎性的,高硼硅玻璃的裂纹往往比较大块,这也一定程度上使得伤害系数更小。

尚泰在玻璃杯产品系列中也是使用了高硼硅玻璃作为主要材质,其良好的特性保证了尚泰玻璃杯的品质需求,也使得尚泰产品能更加放心地让人使用。

High borosilicate glass (also known as hard glass) is made by using the characteristics of glasss electrical conductivity at high temperature, heating the glass to achieve melting of the glass, and processing through advanced production technology. It is a special glass material with low expansion rate, high temperature resistance, high strength, high hardness, high light transmittance and high chemical stability. It is not harmful to the human body. Teapot, teacup and so on. Many glass cups on the market are made of high borosilicate glass. This cup is more resistant to high and low temperatures than traditional glass and is recognized as a safer glass material.

Why is it said that high borosilicate glass is safer? Because high borosilicate glass has a very low thermal expansion coefficient, about one-third that of ordinary glass. This feature better reduces the influence caused by the temperature gradient stress, and thus has stronger fracture resistance. Because its shape deviation is very small, it also makes it an essential material in telescopes and mirrors. Although its thermal shock resistance is strong, it does not necessarily mean that it will not be broken due to rapid changes in temperature. Normal glass breaks are smashable. The crack of high borosilicate glass is often relatively large, which also causes damage to a certain extent. The coefficient is smaller.

Suntech also uses high borosilicate glass as the main material in the glass product series. Its good characteristics ensure the quality requirements of Suntech glass and make Suntech products more reliable for people to use.
