Glass

Glass is one of the oldest materials, traces of its use date back to the 3rd century BC, it is obtained by cooling liquids very quickly and solidifying them. Clearly the process is much more complex and the type of liquid used must be considered. Thanks to its versatility, glass has found use in different fields. Its main characteristic is certainly that of being transparent, finding wide use in window frames.

Food grade glass guarantees a safe and eco-friendly material. In fact, it is a chemically unalterable material and therefore does not release substances to the food that comes into contact with it. Glass is free of BPA (Bisphenol A), phthalates, polycarbonate and PVC. Glass does not absorb odors and does not stain, the life of glass can be unlimited over time. Glass is also easily recyclable and therefore reusable.

With the advent of plastic, glass has found an antagonist supported by large chemical industries. Surely the fragility of glass has allowed plastic to replace glass in various utensils for food use. Plastic is certainly quite convenient but not as safe because it can release substances into food. The most striking case is that of Bisphenol A which was recently banned from food plastic items dedicated to newborns because it was considered potentially dangerous. But be careful because it has not been banned from all food plastics but only from those of baby bottles.

So in our catalog you will find various products in tempered glass which, thanks to its greater strength, is considered as safety glass. Furthermore, in case of breakage, it has the tendency to break into small, blunt and non-sharp pieces, therefore less dangerous.
