What is the Difference Between Borosilicate Glass and Quartz Glass?
Borosilicate glass typically contains around 80% silica, making it less pure than quartz glass, which is over 99% silica. Quartz glass can withstand much higher temperatures, up to 1,100°C, while borosilicate glass can resist to 450°C. Quartz glass offers greater thermal resistance, making it ideal for high-heat applications.
