Material of food grade glass bottles: safe, durable, and environmentally friendly container selection

introduction

With the increasing attention to food safety, food grade glass bottles have become the preferred choice for more and more food packaging due to their safety, durability, and environmental friendliness. This article will introduce the common materials of food grade glass bottles and help you understand this important packaging material.

1、 Material selection of food grade glass bottles

1. Borosilicate glass

Borosilicate glass is the most commonly used material for making food grade glass bottles, with good chemical stability, heat resistance, and transparency. It is not prone to chemical reactions with food and can effectively prevent harmful substances from infiltrating into food.

2. Silicate glass

Silicate glass is another commonly used food grade glass material. Compared with borosilicate glass, its cost is lower, but its transparency and heat resistance are slightly inferior. Suitable for food packaging with low requirements for transparency and heat resistance.

3. Molybdenum silicate glass

Molybdenum silicate glass has high acid, alkali, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for packaging acidic or alkaline foods such as juices and seasonings.

2、 Material advantages of food grade glass bottles

1. Security

The material of food grade glass bottles meets national food safety standards, does not contain heavy metals and harmful substances, and will not contaminate food.

2. Durability

Glass material has high hardness and strength, is not easy to break, can withstand certain drops and collisions, and extends the service life of products.

3. Environmental friendliness

Glass bottles can be recycled to reduce environmental pollution. After being discarded, glass bottles can be melted at high temperatures to make new glass products.

4. Transparency

Glass material has good transparency, which can clearly display the texture and color of food, and enhance the attractiveness of products.

3、 Application areas of food grade glass bottles

Food grade glass bottles are widely used in various types of food packaging, such as:

-Packaging of liquid foods such as edible oil, seasonings, jam, etc;
-Packaging for sauces, beverages, alcoholic beverages, etc;
-Solid food packaging such as honey and pastries.

4、 Conclusion

Food grade glass bottles have become an ideal choice for food packaging due to their safety, durability, and environmental friendliness. When choosing food grade glass bottles, appropriate glass materials should be selected based on the type of food and packaging requirements to ensure the safety and quality of the food.
