(A) Borosilicate glass is a type of silicate glass with at least 5% boron oxide content. This means, it has remarkable heat, solvent and chemical resistance. Flint glass, also known as soda lime glass, is more soft and less heat-resistant glass. Soda lime glass is used for products that can be bent on application of heat.
