You will learn the woodstove glass is basically a ceramic silicate imbedded with the metal Boron. This additive makes Wood Stove Glass a  Hi Temperature retardant Ceramic. It does not expand or contract. It can handle up to 1450 deg with a thermal breakdown at 1600. 

Corning made the first pyrex in the early 1950s. In the 1960's they created the first woodstove glass called Pyroceram I. 25 years ago they created what is used today. As Corning are more inventors of Glass Product, they then license manufacture to make the product. So in the late '80s, they gave the license to 2 countries. France and Japan. Japan then made a deal and set up factories in China. So to differentiate the product from the 2 area's of the world, they called the French Product PyroceramIII. In China and Japan, they use the name Robux or Neoprene.

Around 2005 Corning Reverse the deal with France wear they would make the raw product, then ship it back to the states for it to be Annealed. The Annealing process enables the product to be cut to size.
