First of all, what is borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass characterized by its exceptional heat resistance, durability, and chemical stability. It is made from a combination of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and boron trioxide (B2O3), making it one of the strongest and most durable glasses in the world. Thanks to its unique properties, borosilicate glass is used in a variety of industries, from laboratory equipment to kitchen utensils and—most notably—in high-quality glass filter tips like our PURESMOKE products.

Why do we use borosilicate glass for our glass filter tips?

The decision to use borosilicate glass for our PURESMOKE filter tips is no coincidence. It offers numerous advantages that make it the ideal material for high-quality glass filters:

• Heat resistance: Borosilicate glass is extremely heat-resistant and can easily withstand temperatures of up to 500°C. This means our glass filter tips won't be damaged even with intensive use.
  
  
• Durability: Unlike regular glass, borosilicate glass is scratch-resistant and more shatter-resistant, meaning your PURESMOKE glass filter tips will last a long time and can be used again and again.
  
  
• Taste neutrality: One of the most important features for smokers is the filter's taste neutrality. Borosilicate glass doesn't affect the flavor of the herbs or tobacco, allowing you to experience pure enjoyment.
  
  
• Hygiene: Borosilicate glass is easy to clean and resistant to chemical reactions. This means PURESMOKE filter tips can be easily reused without any loss of quality or purity.
