10. No Reaction to Chemicals

Around the home, we tend to use glass as containers for liquids because it is airtight, watertight, and transparent. Another reason for using glass is that it will not pass any unwelcome flavors into the food. Yet another good reason for using glass is that there are no chemicals present, and it does not react to chemicals.

Glass doesn’t even react to the strongest of acids. It is ideal for use in labs and industrial settings because it can contain any chemical safely and securely, provided people are careful not to break it. It has even been shown that glass may be used to render nuclear waste harmless.
