DURAN® borosilicate glass is highly resistant to
water, neutral and acid solutions, concentrated acids and acid mixtures,
and to chlorine, bromine, iodine and organic substances. Its chemical
resistance is superior to that of most metals and other materials, even
during prolonged periods of exposure and at temperatures above 100 °C.
Only
hydrofluoric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid and strong alkali cause
appreciable surface removal of the glass (glass corrosion) at elevated
temperatures (>100 °C).
DURAN® has the following approximate composition (%):
SiO2 | B2O3 | Na2O + K2O | AI2O3 |
81 | 13 | 4 | 2 |
Hydrolytic resistance class (DIN ISO 719) |
class 1 |
Acid class (DIN 12 116) | class 1 |
Alkali class (DIN ISO 695) | class 2 |
Due to the inert behavior of DURAN® there is no contact or interaction (e. g. ion exchange) between medium and glass, which avoids interfering effects.
The maximum permissible operating temperature for
DURAN® is 500 °C. Above a temperature of 525 °C the glass begins to
soften and above a temperature of 860 °C it changes to the liquid state.
DURAN® glassware is characterised by high resistance to changes in temperature (ΔT=100 K). With its very low coefficient of linear expansion (3.3 x 10–6 K–1), literally no tension is built up in the article, when the temperature changes rapidly. Therefore, it does not crack or shatter, when boiling water is filled in.
