It specializes in containers and vial products from both Type I borosilicate glass and Type III soda lime glass, as well as plastic resins.

Soda-lime glass is divided technically into glass used for windows, called flat glass, and glass for containers, called container glass.
23.
Most container glass is soda-lime glass, produced by blowing and pressing techniques, while some laboratory glassware is made from borosilicate glass.
24.
This type of glass is known as soda lime glass : " soda " for the sodium carbonate and " lime " for the calcium carbonate.
25.
The first type of glass used for fiber was soda lime glass or A-glass ( " A " for the alkali it contains ).
26.
When the kitchenware division was sold, the trademark was changed to lowercase ( pyrex ) and switched to low thermal-expansion soda-lime glass.
27.
Traditional glass ( silica-based soda-lime glass ) also functions in many of the same ways, and is also used for windows and containers.
28.
However, all of the hard carbons exhibit much greater surface damage resistance than other materials of comparable hardness such as mild steel or soda-lime glass.
29.
Many commercial glass products such as containers are made of soda-lime glass, and therefore have a substantial percentage of sodium ions in their internal structure.
30.
Since the potassium ions are bound more tightly in a lead-silica matrix than in a soda-lime glass, the former when struck absorbs more energy.
