The glass bottle is a kind of high-quality packaging container, which has the characteristics of good chemical stability, easy sealing, good air tightness, etc. Since the glass bottle is made of transparent material, the contents in the bottle can be observed from the outside. Do you know how long glass bottles can be stored?

Glass bottles

The main component of the glass bottle is silicon dioxide. In addition, there are some other silicates. From the overall microstructure, the atoms inside the glass are arranged in a disorderly way like a liquid. But from the macro level, the glass shows many solid characteristics. This special material form is called "amorphous solid".

The properties of glass bottles are very stable, and they are outstanding in many materials both in physical and chemical properties. In terms of physical properties, glass will not break due to too high or too low temperature. Whether in hot summer or cold winter, glass can maintain stable physical properties.

Strictly speaking, glass bottles have no shelf life. However, according to the national standard, the circulation period of glass bottles for food packaging is two years from the date of production; After the service life of the glass bottle expires, it can be melted into liquid glass again for production.

There is no accurate time for how long a glass bottle can be stored. Without external force damage, a glass bottle can exist in nature for about 2 million years or more.
