Borosilicate glass is a type of glass where boron oxide and silica are the main constituents and aluminium oxide is present in small amount. The boric oxide may vary from 8% to 13%. Borosilicate glass is highly chemical resistant glass and hence used in manufacturing laboratory equipment and cookware.

Calcium carbonate is the constituent of hard glass and lead oxide is the component of lead glass.
