SON.HYX

CRYSTAL GLASS PAR EXCELLENCE

Developed and registered by Bormioli Luigi. A high-tech blown crystal glass that presents outstanding chemical, optical and mechanical properties. Contents of Pb (Lead), Hg (Mercury), Cr (Chromium) (VI) are not detectable, therefore below the 100 ppm limit value.

Strong

High resistance to breakage

 Resistence of the rim

Resistence to impact test

Resistence to twisting of stems

Resistant to washing cycles
No alteration in transparency and brilliance over 4.000 industrial washing cycles.

Sound amplifier

Contents of Pb (Lead), Hg (Mercury), Cr (Chromium)(VI) are not detectable, therefore below the 100 ppm limit value.
Produced with low CO 2 emissions level.

Mechanical resistance is markedy 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 shown above.

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.

The curves can be superimposed. With Sonhyx® crystal glass is possible to clearly appreciate the whole cromatic range of the wine as well as in the pure quartz.

Ultra clear: totally trasparent and sparkling according to ISO/PAS iwa 8:2009

SPARKX®

ULTRA CLEAR AND DURABLE GLASS

Luigi Bormioli ResearchTeam by means of spectrophotometric measures has obtained this new glass outstandingly transparent and sparkling. The outcoming measures are extremely in line with the consumers perception of quality and transparence. This new material has an extremely low iron content so that it does not interfere with both the transparency and the colorimetric purity of glass. Furthermore Sparkx®, is lead and other heavy metal free. is classified Ultra Clear according to ISO/PAS IWA 8:2009.

The Cartesian axis graph, in terms of chromatic coordinates (a,b), shows the positioning of Sparkx®.

Lightness
Represents the glass capability to let the light go through, basically it measures the glass transparency.
Lightness values superior to 98.8 guarantee an excellent transparency.

Chroma
Represents the glass purity, basically it measures the degree of colourless. Chroma values inferior to 0.5 do not modify the real colour of the liquid contained.

Iron oxide
(Unavoidably present in glass) inferior to 140 ppm prevents unsightly colourings such as green/blue - green/yellow. This is achieved by employing only the purest of raw materials and an extremely close production process control.
Compliance to all 3 above mentioned values results in an Ultra Clear glass with a high colour efficiency (R) of the liquid contained (R>99.99%).

THERMIC GLASS

TOTALLY TRANSPARENT WITH EXCEPTIONAL BRILLANCE

Borosilicate glass is a material highly resistant to thermal shock and dishwasher safe. Its chemical composition maintains unadulterated the level of acidity of any liquid or food contained.

The vacuum area between the two walls allows for thermal insulation and prevent condensation on the outer surface. As a result the temperature of hot liquid or food is maintained for longer than that of other materials such as porcelain or ceramic. The same is applicable for cold liquids and food, the desired temperature is maintained for longer preventing the “sweating” effect on the table and hands
