01 — Application

Borosilicate by Category

Each product category uses borosilicate glass differently

Water filtration for maximum cooling

Heat-resistant solutions for concentrates

Functional elements in borosilicate

Pro Tip Choose thick borosilicate (9mm+) for daily use — it is practically indestructible.

02 — Material

Borosilicate glass contains boron oxide, giving it exceptional thermal resistance and chemical inertness.

Density2.23 g/cm³

Cooling-40°C

03 — Fluid Dynamics

Percolation is the process of breaking smoke into small bubbles to increase contact surface with water.

04 — Terminology

Definitions

Laboratory-grade glass (type 3.3) used in surgery and science. Withstands extreme temperatures up to 500°C.

"A coefficient of expansion of 3.3 means minimal deformation when heated."
