- Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass.
- Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less than traditional glassware.
- Used to make scientific lab glass, borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware.
- Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in traditional glassware. The boron oxide acts as a glue holding the silicate together and due to the small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger glass.
- Some customers may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold it. It is important to explain the difference between borosilicate and soda lime glass.
- Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong.
- Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching.
- Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it.
- Simply treat it as you would any glass product and it will stand up to every day use. Dishwasher & microwave safe.
