Our products are engineered with strict quality control to ensure consistent diameter, smooth surface finish, and reliable chemical resistance. Whether used in valve systems, dosing pumps, or laboratory heating applications, soda lime glass balls deliver stable performance and long service life.

What Are Soda Lime Glass Balls?
They are commonly referred to as:
– soda lime glass spheres
– glass balls for industrial use
– soda lime glass beads
– glass boiling stones
Compared to other industrial materials, soda lime glass offers a cost-effective balance between mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
Chemical Composition & Material Properties
Key composition includes:
– Silica (SiO₂): ~70–74%
– Sodium Oxide (Na₂O): 12–15%
– Calcium Oxide (CaO): 8–12%
– Minor oxides for stability and clarity
Physical & Mechanical Properties
– Density: 2.4–2.5 g/cm³
– Mohs hardness: 5–6
– Surface: polished / glossy / matte options
– Chemical resistance: high resistance to water, acids, and mild alkalis
– Thermal stability: suitable for laboratory heating environments
These properties make soda lime glass spheres suitable for both industrial engineering systems and laboratory applications.
