-
Q1: What is borosilicate glass, and why is it preferred in beaker bong manufacturing?Borosilicate glass, defined by ISO 3585, is rich in silica (SiO2>80%) and resistant to thermal shock and corrosion. Its low expansion coefficient and chemical inertness make it ideal for safe, durable water pipe smoke solutions.
-
Q2: How are decals applied to beaker bongs with designs?Decals are chemically fused or kiln-baked onto the glass surface, securing vivid, acid-resistant artwork. This process ensures long-lasting designs and compliance with FDA safety for surface coatings.
-
Q3: Do cheap beaker base bongs compromise on durability?Budget models often use thinner soda-lime glass, leading to reduced impact resistance. Premium borosilicate models (like DS Glass Bong) provide 3–5x greater service life as per industry tests (ANSI Z97.1).
-
Q4: What joint sizes are standard, and can they be customized?The vast majority use 14mm or 18mm female joints. Custom sizes can be produced (down to 10mm), with reinforcement available for high-frequency usage.
-
Q5: Which testing standards are referenced for quality assurance?Key references include ISO 3585 for glass properties, FDA 21CFR177.1520 for surface safety, ISO 8465 for cleaning/sterilization durability, and ANSI Z97.1 for impact resilience.
-
Q6: How long is the typical delivery/production cycle for custom orders?Standard items ship in 2–5 days. OEM/ODM or large-volume orders: 12–20 business days, depending on complexity. Expedited options negotiable.
