No.
New pyrex Is Not Boro.
Pipe makers used to show off their boro pipes by Throwing them at the ground.... Something you could never dream of doing with traditional glass (soda lime).
Why do you folks keep saying this?
At least google it first.
- joecool1029 3y ago> No. Yes. > New pyrex Is Not Boro. I never made the claim that it was. I was very clear and said tempered soda lime glass is more resistant to physical shock than regular borosilicate glass. I am not comparing borosilicate glass to regular soda lime glass. I've cracked a Chemex before dropping it too hard on a counter. I had a tempered glass coffee table when I was a kid and that survived kids standing on it, plates dropped on it, you name it. > Why do you folks keep saying this? Personal experience and articles like this: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/tempered-vs-borosilicate-glass/ https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/tempered-vs-borosili... > At least google it first. At least learn to properly read what I wrote.
