Borosilicate glass has the highest level of chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance compared to the other materials. That holds true not only for specific chemicals themselves, but also when you factor in intermixing within the system and the increased corrosive effect of the chemicals at elevated temperatures. When considering heat and thermal expansion this is almost a non-factor for a system utilizing glass. Borosilicate glass has a maximum operating temperature of 250° F intermittent and 212° F continuous. As for thermal expansion it has, by far, the lowest expansion rate of the other materials (0.2 in. of expansion / 100 ft. of material / 100° F rise in temperature). It also uses a mechanical joint coupling system that allows for four degrees of deflection without any leakage. Compared with the expansion rate of PVDF (over 40 times higher) and PP (over 30 times higher) and the fact that they sometimes use a fused or glued joint it is easy to see why straight chemical compatibility is not the only thing to consider. One special area regarding fire safety is the return air-plenums. In accordance with UL 723 (ASTM E84) there are only three acid-waste piping materials that are allowed to be installed in a return air plenum. Those are borosilicate glass, high-silicon iron and PVDF plastic because they meet the 25/50 smoke rating based on the UL and ASTM standard. Borosilicate glass also does not burn or emit toxic fumes in a fire and offers fire-stopping.

|
http://www.us.schott.com/labware/english/products/duran/properties/index.html
|
|||||||
|
Meets standards ISO 3785, ASTM E438 - 92(2006).
|
| Does the product contain any California Proposition 65 chemicals? | Yes No | |
| Does the product contain any Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic pollutants (PBTs) as listed on the EPA Priority PBT List? | Yes No | |
| Is the MSDS and/or a list of toxics available on company website? | Yes No |
|
Borosilicate Glass piping does not emit toxic fumes, burn, spread flames or off-gas VOCs during installation.
|

|
Total: Measurement definition: ISO 14021
|
|||||||||
|
SCHOTT uses between roughly 20-60% in process pre-consumer recycled content called glass cullet. While this does not qualify as a recycled content claim for LEED credits, the reutilization of cullet in the manufacturing processes does reduce waste, energy consumption, and raw material acquisition.
|
|
To the best of our knowledge, borosilicate glass emits no VOCs.
