Borosilicate Glassware for Laboratory Applications

The Kavalier glassworks is the oldest specialised manufacturer of laboratory and technical glass in Europe. All glass parts are made of borosilicate glass 3.3 – Simax brand. This type of borosilicate glass is characterised by a high chemical resistence, low coefficient of linear thermal expansivity and thus a high resistence against temperature changes. Owing to its properties, Simax glass is used in such areas where the highest demands are made of products from a viewpoint of heat and chemical stability as well as neutrality to substances or preparations contacting them, such as, in chemistry, petro-chemistry, food, power supply, metallurgy, health service, microbiology, pharmaceuticals, mechanical engineering and laboratories.

Simax tubing, rods, profiles and capillary tubes are used in the production of laboratory glassware, industrial apparatus, pilot plant, pipe lines, drainage, decorative glass, solar collectors, light fittings, to name but a few. Products made from Simax glass are smooth and nonporous, transparent, corrosion-resistant even in exacting operations, sufficiently homogeneous and without presence of heterogenous particles.
