💛 Strength in Borosilicate Glass
Borosilicate Glass Water Bottles: What Makes Them Stronger?
When you pick up a glass water bottle, you want it to feel light, look clear, and stand up to daily life. That’s why quality bottles use borosilicate glass. It’s the same premium material trusted in kitchens and science labs. It is made to handle heat, cold and the bumps of a busy day.
What Is Borosilicate Glass?
- A specialised blend of silica with boron trioxide that increases strength and stability.
- Engineered for thermal shock resistance, meaning it can handle temperature changes better than ordinary glass.
- Renowned for clarity and a smooth, non-porous surface that stays fresher for longer.
Why It’s Stronger Than Regular Glass
- Thermal stability: Fewer stresses form when temperatures change, so there’s less chance of cracking.
- Everyday resilience: Designed for real life including daily commutes, desks, gym bags and school runs.
- Light yet durable: You get strength without the bulk, so it’s easy to carry all day.
Pure Taste, Zero Compromise
Glass is naturally non-porous and odour-resistant, so your water tastes clean with no lingering flavours. And unlike many plastics, there are no common additives to worry about.
Hot, Cold & In Between
Grab an iced water for the drive, then refill with room-temperature at your desk - borosilicate handles sensible temperature shifts with ease. (As with any glass, avoid extreme shocks like pouring boiling water into a bottle that’s just come from the freezer).
Simple Care That Lasts
- Rinse daily and let it dry with the lid off.
- Use a soft bottle brush with mild detergent for a deeper clean.
- Spot-clean the sleeve to keep it looking fresh.
Choosing the Right Wilfred Eco Bottle
- 650 mL: Compact for handbags, brief case, uni tote.
- 1L: All-day hydration with fewer refills - great for office or workouts.
- Protective sleeve: Extra grip and a soft, minimalist look that suits every setting.
Every Wilfred Eco bottle is crafted from premium borosilicate glass to deliver a balance of strength, clarity and everyday comfort. It’s better for your water, and better for the planet.
FAQs
Is borosilicate glass safe?
Yes. It’s non-porous and does not add flavours or common plastic chemicals to your drink.
Will it break if I drop it?
All glass can break, but borosilicate is engineered for improved durability. The protective sleeve adds grip and cushioning for everyday bumps.
Can I put hot drinks in it?
It’s tolerant of sensible temperature changes. Avoid extreme thermal shock (e.g., boiling water straight into a bottle that’s been chilled).
