By virtue of the stability of its amorphous silicate network, glass is a material with excellent chemical inertia with respect to almost all acid and neutral substances, and has good resistance even in the presence of weakly alkaline pH.

These properties make it the best material for containing over a long period of time food, beverages, pharmaceutical preparations, and even chemicals and reagents, as it excels in resisting the aggression of its content and performs protective functions against alterations or external contamination of this latter.

To quantify the ability of a certain glass composition to resist chemical aggression, SSV is equipped to perform various types of tests, both using standard methods and tailored tests according to customer specifications.
