Borosilicate glass — also known as Pyrex — is a material with extraordinary qualities, combining technical strength, aesthetic purity, and manufacturing versatility. Its nature makes it reliable and durable, ensuring consistent performance even in complex environments, without ever sacrificing the transparency and elegance that define it.
Choosing it means relying on a raw material that offers numerous advantages and adapts to diverse design requirements — from lighting and design to industry and scientific research. A material that serves as a benchmark for those seeking the perfect balance between functionality, aesthetics, and innovation.
It’s strong
Borosilicate glass is highly robust, thanks to its low thermal expansion coefficient, which makes it extremely resistant to thermal shocks and sudden temperature changes, performing reliably up to approximately 330 °F (about 165 °C) without cracking.
Additionally, its chemical composition provides superior corrosion resistance compared to soda-lime glass, making it ideal for industrial and scientific applications exposed to aggressive substances.
It’s transparent and brilliant
Borosilicate glass stands out for its exceptional transparency and brilliance, making it ideal for both technical and aesthetic applications. The purity of its composition minimizes impurities and yellowing over time, ensuring high light transmission and impeccable visual clarity.
It’s resilient
Thanks to its low thermal expansion coefficient and unique chemical composition, borosilicate glass maintains stability and strength even under mechanical and thermal stress. These properties make it a “resilient” material, able to absorb temperature fluctuations and stresses without warping or sudden breakage, ensuring reliability in technical and scientific applications.
It’s hygienic and easy to clean
Borosilicate glass is a non-porous material that does not absorb odors or substances and resists attack from chemical and biological agents. This makes it completely hygienic and easy to clean, ensuring safety, durability, and maximum practicality in both domestic settings and professional environments, such as laboratories and medical applications.
It’s perfect for lighting
The combination of strength, transparency, and thermal resistance makes borosilicate glass an exceptional material for the lighting sector. Its uniform thickness ensures consistency and balance, essential for even light diffusion and flawless aesthetic results. Additionally, it is easily worked using techniques such as blowing, bending, welding, and grinding, while maintaining high aesthetic and functional standards. This versatility allows the creation of reliable, design-oriented products that combine technical performance with visual appeal.
