was not the aim when it was sent to production. But still it’s much better than regular soda-lime jars (because it borosilicate). The producer is called Vitro. It’s a small German company that makes Laser imprinting… Somehow a colleague got them to produce
museum jars. This thin jars are the result, they still need improvement (specially the thin bottom), but in my opinion, it’s the beginning for a new museum jar. Where else can you get long jars up to 40 cm with Twist off opening off 82mm or 100mm.?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

countries that is not properly annealed and thus much more fragile than the soda-lime glass we are all used to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
