Welcome to BOROSIL®
From the 16th Century till date, chemical research teams have used glass containers for a very basic reason - glass is transparent, thereby making the contents and the reactions clearly visible. However, owing to the fact that chemists must heat, cool and mix chemical substances, ordinary glass is not always adequate for laboratory work.
Laboratory work requires that the apparatus for handling chemicals/media offer maximum inertness when in contact with the widest range of chemical substances. Moreover such apparatus needs to withstand thermal shock without fracture, high temperatures without deformity and mechanical shocks from daily washing and sterilization.
BOROSIL ® is the trade name of such a glass. Items made under the trade name BOROSIL ® represent optimum thermal, chemical and mechanical behavior. This glass is used in laboratories as well as for industrial applications where maximum thermal, chemical and mechanical resistance is required.

Gauge Glass, Tabular
Every boiler, cooker, evaporator, tank and vessel needs a gauge glass to enable the operator to see exactly where the liquid level is. We offer a wide range of Tabular Gauge Glasses to meet various specific applications. BOROSIL® brand Gauge Glasses are made from head resistant low expansion borosilicate glass tubing of uniform heavy wall.
BOROSIL® Tabular Gauge Glasses are
 

Crystal Clear

  Highly corrosion resistant
  Hard- won't scratch or craze easily
 

Suitable for high pressure service

These are available in out side diameter 12 mm, 16 mm, 19 mm and 25 mm.
These are cut and fire polished at both ends
Sight Glass
Sight glasses are essential in many chemical and industrial processes for observation of high temperature and high pressure operations. We manufacture BOROSIL® brand sight glasses from low expansion borosilicate glass which has extremely good mechanical chemical & thermal stability. Our sight glasses are available in sizes made to order and are mould finished with annular edge which can be flat ground to give wide gasket surface needed for high pressure service. These can be provided for specific requirements
