Glass types are named after the fluxes that are used to lower the melting temperature of the grains of silica sand. Borosilicate, therefore, contains boron, or a derivative, such as boric acid, or borax, to do this. Borosilicate glass is most often used for cookery or in laboratory apparatus, as it is very resistant to thermal shock and corrosion by acids.

What are the advantages of pyrex glass?
Are you talking about Kitchen grade Pyrex (Tempered Soda Lime Glass) or Lab grade Pyrex (borosilicate glass)?Lab grade contains more metals such as boron, sodium, and aluminum making lab grade glassware better conductors of heat.Kitchen glassware do not conduct heat as well which prevents burning the bottom of whatever your baking.Both are less likely to break than other glass types.Exaxol Chemical Corporationhttp://www.exaxol.com
