What is borosilicate glass?
Marcel Kämmerling
Borosilicate glass is a particularly robust and heat-resistant specialty glass that enjoys an excellent reputation in the world of bongs and glass products. It consists of a mixture of silicon dioxide (silica) and boron oxide—hence the name—and is known for its durability, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance.
Why is borosilicate glass so popular for bongs?
