Technical Information Glassware
Technological Glossary SON.hyx from Luigi Bormioli Crystal glass from Luigi Bormioli has always been produced with the purest raw materials, without the use of lead and with advanced technology. This gives it a high level of transparency and brilliance. Mechanical Properties Glassware made with SON.hyx crystal has improved resistance to mechanical shocks Laboratory tests have given the following results: • Up to 37.5% increase in rim strength.
Bowl impact testing
• Up to 105% increase in resistance to mechanical shocks. •U p to 98% increase in resistance to breakage through twisting at the stem during hand cloth drying. Chemical Properties Tests have demonstrated that SON.hyx crystal glassware has an exceptional resistance to industrial dishwasher detergents and chemicals. After 4,000 wash cycles in commercial dishwashers SON.hyx crystal glassware retains all its original properties. Sparkx from Luigi Bormioli An innovative, technologically advanced ultra clear, durable glass with very low iron content for excellent transparency. 30% increased resistance to mechanical shocks.
