SON.hyx Technology

Crystal Glass Par Excellence

Developed and registered by Bormioli Luigi. A high-tech blown lead-free crystal glass that does not contain and heavy metals. This glass present outstanding chemical, optical and mechanical properties.

Mechanical resistance is significantly enhanced thanks to appropriate production processes. Glassware made of crystal glass have an improved resistance to mechanical shocks. In fact, laboratory tests have demonstrated the improvements. Due to these improved processes the surface of the glass does not have any weak points thus reducing the glass fragility and improving its mechanical resistance.

Strong High Resistance to Breakage

• +37.5% Resistance of the rim
• +105% Resistance to impact test
• +98% Resistance to twisting of stems

Resistant to Washing Cycles

No alteration in transparency and brilliance over 4,000 industrial cycles

• Sound amplifier
• Lead and other heavy metal free
• Produced with low CO2 emission level

Titanium Reinforced Technology

Permanent anti-abrasion treatment on the glass’ stems. It is a process developed and carried by the Bormioli Luigi Research and Development Department by applying Nanotechnologies directly on the glass’ stems. This process hardens the glass surface increasing its resistance to abrasions, which are responsible for the fragility of the stems during daily usage. It increases the stems’ resistance to breakages by 140%, permanently.Luig Bormioli‘s Titanium reinforced treatment is the most reliable, as it:

• Guarantees the stems’ resistance to breakages even after multiple industrial washing cycles
• Glass sparkle and transparency is maintained
• Avoids any glass discoloration
