| Glass is endowed with sui
generis combo of corrosion-resistance, chemical inertness,
impact-resistance, thermal shock resistance, non-adherence
and heat transfer efficiency in addition to superb non-catalytic
qualities that gives it a position of one of the best material
capable of meeting any kind of process needs.
Glass offers complete protection against
corrosion across the entire pH range and exhibits excellent
mechanical properties.
Its resistance to most corrosive and extreme
thermal conditions is far greater than any other known element.
Glass, due to its exclusive molecular structure,
gives a broader range of chemical compatibilities. The material
is resistant to mineral acids, at all concentrations and at
elevated temperatures, in both oxidizing and reducing environments,
except for a very few cases.
It resists the build-up of viscous or sticky
contamination and polymerization preventing wide range of
polymers from sticking to the vessels. This means better heat
transfer, less frequent cleaning and higher productivity.
It doesn’t affect purity, flavour,
properties, color, odour or any other aspects of a product
thanks to its relatively superb inert nature.
