Technical information - Glass Soda lime glass This glass is used for microscope slides for its surfaces' properties. Due to its high linear coefficient of expansion it does not withstand thermal shocks. This glass is highly resistant against acids and alkali and perfectly suitable for microscope cover glasses. Due to its high linear coefficient of expansion it does not withstand thermal shocks. This glass is more resistant to variations of temperature than soda lime glass and D263. This glass is perfectly suitable for high quality measuring instruments as it is highly resistant against acids and alkali. Due to its small linear coefficient of expansion it withstands thermal shocks very well. Soda lime glass Linear coefficient of expansion approx.: Paul Marienfeld GmbH & Co.
