2017 CATALOG 1 Origins For many Europeans, Duralex is a magical name that reminds them of their childhood school days when they played number games at lunchtime using the little inlaid numbers found at the bottom of their tumblers. But Duralex is more than a fond memory or icon, Duralex is a building block technology. Duralex owes its birth to the Saint-Gobain group and its industrial patent for molded, tempered glass, developed in 1939 in the La ChapelleSaint-Mesmin factory. This industrial process gives the tumbler a precision transparency, lasting clarity, and unparrelled strength. Since its creation, the expertise and know-how of its collaborators have given the brand its international notoriety with its nearly unbreakable tumblers whose pure, simple style is never outdated. Tempering Process The tempering operation consists of heating the glass to a temperature of 1292°F and then brutally cooling the glass. This treatment creates in the glass a force or reaction, which improves most of its physical properties including resistance to mechanical stress (bending, shocks and impacts) and to thermal shocks. Resulting Mechanical Properties: the product is 2.5 times more resistant than a fired product of equal thickness. Resulting Thermal Properties: tempered glass can resist a thermal shock of 266°F, while classical glass breaks from a thermal shock of about 104°F. Tempered glass conserves the optical and acoustic properties of each basic product. After being tempered, the glass can no longer be reshaped. Slight deformations may be observed after tempering which are inherent in the manufacturing process. Environmentally Friendly The glass does not go to waste. Duralex is ruthless with respect to the quality of its products, yet also knows that it is important to give raw material a second chance. Products withdrawn for quality reasons are recycled on site and reintegrated into the production cycle. A Duralex product can therefore contain up to 35% of glass that was recycled. However, Duralex’s high quality standards exclude the use of collected glass. Our glass is 100% Duralex, from the beginning to the end.Duralex’s commitment to the environment does not stop at the product. Cardboard used in the packaging is environment-friendly and production waste is collected for recycling.
