Description
Pyrex® sheet is low-expansion borosilicate glass manufactured by Corning. MD Glass can cut and size Pyrex® sheet to customers' specifications. We can also temper Pyrex® to increase its mechanical strength and heat resistance. Borofloat^TM is also a highly chemically resistant borosilicate glass with a low thermal expansion, but because it is manufactured by the float method, it possesses the additional characteristic of unsurpassed smoothness.

Characteristics
     Low thermal expansion; doesn't crack when heated and cooled rapidly
     Normal use temperature of 230°C (446°F), with maximum use
      at 490°C (914°F)
     When tempered, can be used at up to 370°C (700°F)
     Shatters instead of breaking into shards
     High resistance to weathering and acids
