The principle of light shielding in Boston bottles

The Boston bottle is mainly characterized by its good chemical stability, heat resistance, and a series of excellent physicochemical properties such as mechanical strength, smoothness, transparency, ease of cleaning, and good sealing performance, making it widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Now, let me explain the principle of light shielding for the Boston bottle?

The Boston bottle is also made by adding materials that can shield light, such as concentrated nitric acid, silver iodide, silver bromide, silver chloride, etc. Therefore, it is essential to know that these substances need to be stored inside. During storage or transportation, these light-sensitive products should avoid direct sunlight; otherwise, it may lead to product failure. Nowadays, many drugs undergo chemical reactions under light, causing many drugs to become ineffective, threatening people's health. So, what is the difference between Boston bottles and transparent glass bottles? It is important to know that many substances are light-sensitive, so these substances need to be stored in brown glass bottles to prevent such drugs from occurring, and they should also be kept in a cool, shaded place. Many white substances can be placed in transparent glass bottles as long as they do not react with light and silica. One of the purposes of using it is to allow the user to observe the state and quantity of the substances inside the Boston bottle before use, to avoid potential dangers.

The Boston bottle itself absorbs all light except brown light and reflects brown light. The so-called light shielding means that the brown glass bottle shields the light for the drugs contained inside, as chemical products are both outdoor and indoor. They should be stored in a cool place without worrying about the temperature of the bottle rising. The main thing is to avoid direct sunlight, so it is correct to say that light shielding is necessary. Now, mainly due to continuous technological advancements, in recent years, the kilns of glass bottle factories have been converted to full gas, and the feeding ports of the feeders have also been replaced with high-temperature electric heating silicon carbide rods installed in the feed trough in proportion. The electric heating automatically adjusts the temperature, controlling the temperature variation of the material in the feed trough between 7-12 degrees, providing a very uniform supply of ordinary material drops for the Boston bottle-making machine, with excellent elasticity, effectively solving the stability issue of the glass liquid, allowing the material liquid to be well utilized in the bottle-making machine production, significantly improving the yield of the produced Boston bottles. Therefore, during the production process of this product, the raw materials are heated and melted in the kiln, then supplied by an automatic cutting and feeding machine with different weights and material types.
