Strengthened borosilicate glass containers with improved damage tolerance

A glass container comprising:

• a body formed from a Type I, Class B glass composition according to ASTM Standard E438-92, the body having a hydrolytic resistance of HGB2 or better according to ISO 719 and an inner surface, an outer surface and a wall thickness extending between the outer surface and the inner surface, wherein the body is ion-exchange strengthened such that the body comprises a compressively stressed layer extending into the wall thickness from at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface;
• and
• a lubricous coating positioned on at least a portion of the outer surface of the body, wherein the portion of the outer surface of the body with the lubricous coating has a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.7, wherein:
• the lubricous coating is a tenacious organic coating that is thermally stable at a temperature of at least about 260° C. for 30 minutes;
• and
• the coefficient of friction is a maximum coefficient of friction measured relative to a second glass container in a vial-on-vial testing jig under a normal load of 30 N, the second glass container having a body formed from the Type I, Class B glass composition and comprising the lubricous coating on an at least a portion of the outer surface of a body of the second glass container and subjected to the same environmental conditions prior to measurement.
