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, flavor, properties, color, odor or any other aspects of a product thanks to its relatively superb inert nature.
