This tubing is of a low expansion borosilicate composition with high chemical resistance, making it the most popular type of glass in the world for laboratory use. It meets all U.S. Pharmacopoeia specifications for type 1A glass. Borosilicate glass is simply the generic form of the better known heat resistant glass brands Pyrex, Corning, Simax, Kimax and others.
