Before we dwell on the multiple companies that manufacture borosil glass or borosilicate glass in our great country, it is important to know what borosilicate glass is all about. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass which allows for a very low chance of thermal expansion.
This means it will not crack under extreme temperature changes like regular glass. It is extremely durable and that has made it the go-to glass choice for high-end restaurants, laboratories and wineries. This magic ingredient (boron trioxide) is what elevates this glass to become thermal shock resistant and makes it a favorite among multiple industries and sectors all over the world.
This rare quality allows a borosilicate glass to go straight from a freezer to an oven rack without cracking. For us laymen, this simply means that we can pour boiling hot water into borosilicate glass if we wanted to have steep tea or coffee, without worrying about shattering or cracking the glass. A quick fix isn’t it when we are working on a time restraint. That being the case, here are a few companies in India that are the leading manufacturers of borosilicate glass should you want to thank them for what they help you with.
BOROSIL: Starting with the namesake and perhaps, the most commonly known glass manufacturing company all across India, BOROSIL. Established in 1962 with humble beginnings, BOROSIL started life as the ”Industrial & Engineering Apparatus Company Pvt Ltd” after being founded by Dr Lele. Even at that time, the company had the lofty vision of being an internationally recognized scientific glass producer. Many things have changed since then – however, their core remains the same, to provide our worldwide customers with solutions that improve their lives.
Synonymous with heatproof glassware, it is the market leader for consumer glassware in India. Having made perfection a priority for more than 50 years, we bring this perfection in everything that they do. BOROSIL Ltd. has expanded their consumer offering from its core glassware range to include opalware dinner sets (sold under the brand Larah), kitchen appliances, storage products, glass lunch boxes and stainless steel vacuum insulated flasks & bottles. It has made them into not just a household name but also a household commodity with multiple products present in one household.
