1. a type of glass made from silica and boron oxide, known for its low thermal expansion and high resistance to heat and chemical corrosion
Usage: commonly used in laboratory and industrial applications

1. made of or relating to borosilicate glass

Examples

• Borosilicate glass is preferred for laboratory beakers because it can withstand high temperatures.
• The borosilicate measuring cups in the kitchen are durable and long-lasting.
• Scientists use borosilicate test tubes for chemical experiments.
• Borosilicate cookware can go directly from the stovetop to the oven without cracking.
• The borosilicate composition makes this glassware resistant to thermal shock.
