Is borosilicate glass toxic to humans?

    Borosilicate glass is generally considered a safe material that is harmless to the human body and is even widely used in high-end cooking equipment, medical equipment and laboratory utensils. This is because borosilicate glass has the following characteristics:
    1. High temperature resistance
    Borosilicate glass has good heat resistance and can withstand temperature changes of up to 500 degrees Celsius, which makes it less likely to break when used in high temperature environments, thereby reducing the risk during use.
    2. Chemical corrosion resistance
    Borosilicate glass has good corrosion resistance to most chemical reagents, which means that when storing acidic, alkaline and other chemical substances, it will not release harmful substances, keeping the substances in the container safe.
    3. Low expansion coefficient
    Borosilicate glass has a low expansion coefficient, which means that its volume changes less when the temperature changes, thereby reducing the risk of breakage caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
    However, if you are allergic to the boron trioxide in borosilicate glass, you may have allergic symptoms such as itching or rash on the skin, and even urticaria. When you come into contact with it in your life, you must closely observe the changes in your skin. If allergic symptoms occur, you cannot come into contact with it again.
    When using borosilicate glass products in daily life, if you encounter damage or suspect that the product has quality problems, you should replace it in time and consult a professional if necessary.
