Can Borosilicate Glass Be Heated In A Microwave Oven?

Borosilicate glass can be heated in a microwave oven. High borosilicate glass is a kind of glass with enhanced refractory properties, which can withstand an instantaneous temperature difference of about 150 ° C. It belongs to heat-resistant glass, so glass containers made of this material can be heated in a microwave oven.

Borosilicate glass is an important material for making high-durability glass instruments such as beakers and test tubes. Of course, its applications are far more than these, other applications such as vacuum tubes, aquarium heaters, flashlight lenses, professional lighters, pipes, glass ball artwork, high-quality beverage glassware, solar thermal vacuum tubes, etc., while , It has also been applied in the aerospace field. For example, the insulating tile of the space shuttle is also coated with high borosilicate glass.
