What is the difference between 90 and 96 COE glass?

The two main COEs for fusible glass are 90 and 96. The main difference between the two is that 96 is generally softer and fuses at lower temperatures than 90. Regardless of the COE you decide to work with, you will have an amazing selection of colors to use in your palette.

What does 96 COE glass mean?

co-efficient of expansion difference
This is due to the co-efficient of expansion difference (Bullseye is COE 90 and Spectrum / Uroborus System 96 is COE 96). This means that they expand and contract by different amounts when heated. When fusing, this means that glass could crack as it cools.
