borosilicate

Laboratory glassware material

Borosilicate is a type of glass containing boron oxide, which makes it resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion.

Pyrex and laboratory glassware are typically borosilicate: The beaker shattered because it wasn't borosilicate.

It withstands rapid temperature changes that would crack ordinary glass.
