Heatproof Lab Glassware by PYREX - A Famous Name in Science

PYREX® - A famous name in science

PYREX® borosilicate glass is no ordinary glass. It's manufactured to have excellent temperature properties making it an essential part of any lab. PYREX® glassware makes products safe to use over a very wide temperature range (-192oC to +500oC) and therefore suitable for a variety of heating applications. 

Glass can break very easily when subjected to heating or cooling. The high silica content (over 80%) gives PYREX® glass a low co-efficient of expansion. This means that the glass is less likely to break, as it expands or contracts when heated or cooled.

PYREX® glass products have flat even bases which provide stability and maximises contact surface area of PYREX® glassware when heated on a hotplate. This ensures even distribution of heat through the glass.

PYREX® borosilicate glass is chemically resistant to most acids, alkalis and solvents making it safe and durable to use in a wide range of laboratory applications.
