Borosil glass

Hello,
Someone is selling some globes whose brand is "Borosil" they are 11x11 cm. App .
Do you know if they are good quality?. Where are they made?, any idea?

Thanks

 

I haven't heard of Borosil brand glasses so cannot comment on their quality.

What lanterns do you think 10cm x 10cm will fit ?
There are useful guides from @ColinG , @sedgeman and @Francisc Masec here

Thanks for sharing Henry!

 

I think they are 500 hk globes, I told the seller to measure them again. He gave me the measures approximately (which is bad in these cases)

 

“Borosil” must be derived from borosilicate glass.

That is close to the dimensions of many Coleman (108x111 mm) coleman 282 (112x113 mm) and many of the Petromax clone in 300 cp and 500 cp (110x115 mm) .
I'm of the same opinion as @Tony Press
Cheers,
Francisc

 

That is what the "advertisement" want us to believe.
Like all the clones of lanterns with almost the Petromax brand name on the tank.

 

A short search on Google i found this company BOROSIL
Probably as good as any borosilicate glass.
Cheers, Francisc

 

I do have some unfettled Petromax lanterns that came with the Borosil replacement glass globes. The original Schott globes must have been long gone or broken after many years of use by previous owners.
Yes, Borosil globes are made in India.
I have no idea on the quality since I have not fettled or put the lanterns to the test by actual use.
