<div class="moz-cite-prefix">A bit late, but I agree with John; we
have recently seen borosilicate twist-off jars which are
apparently produced in China and are rather expensive compared
when the enter the market in Europe - compared to normal
(soda-lime) glass jars used produced for food industry. The main
issue is (and John likely referred to this) that the glass wall
especially at the bottom of some those jars was very very thin,
leading to spontaneous cracking of jars when filled and lifted up
or after jars where placed on shelves in the storage area.</div>

is important to find out where the glass is manufactured, and
make sure they send you a sample of each size to test. There
is a lot of glassware entering the market from China and other
countries that is not properly annealed and thus much more
fragile than the soda-lime glass we are all used to.</div>

<pre><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I’ve recently sourced a new potential provider for glass jars for our fluid collection.

Is soda lime glass acceptable?</span></pre>
