What is Pyrex® Glass?
Py.rex (pI’reks): a brand name for any of a class of heat and chemical resistant glassware products of varying composition traditionally used for cooking or scientific purposes, now also being used by consumers for Decorative Art, Functional Art, Smoking Pipes, Body And Hair Jewelry, and of course, Sensual Foreplay, Masturbation, And Erotic Sexual Exploration And Experimentation. Its composition name is Borosilicate. Pyrex is a Brand name sold by Corning. Pyrex is to Borosilicate as Evian is to water. All Evian is water, but not all water is Evian. Our artists tend to also use other brands like Simax, and occasionally Kimble. The addition of dark and bright colors into the glass has enhanced the artistic uniqueness of every piece, allowing for distinctive patterning and basic object “sculpting”.
Pyrex® is a trade name by Corning for a type of glass, specifically Borosilicate Glass, that has become a standard. While the Glass is not made by Corning it is Borosilicate, so everyone tends to refer to it by its more well known name. Borosilicate Glass, or Pyrex, is a special class of heat resistant, chemical resistant, very strong and resiliant glass that is not only special in its composition but is also heated and cooled in specific ways to give it the qualities required for medical, scientific, and sexual use.
