Plastic Glasses
We hold a range of disposable and reusable plastic glasses in stock - manufactured from a range of different plastics. Disposable plastic glasses are ideally only for single use and usually either crack easily or do not wash without breaking. Reusable plastic glasses are manufactured to be many times more durable, be dropped and not break and be dish washer proof. Some of the high end reusable plastic glasses are as good as the glass counterparts with all the benefits of plastic. Below is a summary of the typical types of plastic glasses we stock:
Crystal Glasses
The crystal glasses are thin walled polystyrene tumblers that provide the highest level of transparency. Manufactured under strict hygienic conditions the tumblers are all sleeved to keep them clean and dust free. Lightweight crystal glasses are particularly suitable for serving drinks where the prime consideration is clarity. Disposable tumblers cannot be government stamped as the products can be flexed and capacity altered.
Flexy Glass Disposable
Flexy glasses are thin walled polypropylene tumblers that are crack resistant. The tumblers are designed with a step in base, for maximum stackability. This also allows them to be easily pulled apart, thus making them ideal choice in busy bars and areas where safety is a prime consideration and speed of service. Manufactured under strict hygienic conditions the tumblers are all sleeved to keep them clean and dust free. Disposable tumblers cannot be government stamped as the products can be flexed and capacity altered.
Reusable Glasses
Hard walled polystyrene shot glasses, tumblers and wine glasses are available in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. Dishwasher safe and reusable they are very rigid and will withstand in excess of 100 uses without showing signs of wear and tear. The material used is heat resistant up to 100oC and will resist acids, alcohols, fats, oils and salt solutions. Isopropyl alcohol detergent should be avoided. We also carry a few products made from S.A.N. (Styreneacrylonitrile)
Unbreakable Glasses
Virtually unbreakable glasses are manufactured from Polycarbonate which is unbreakable in normal usage. The glasses will withstand in excess of 500 uses without showing signs of deterioration. All products produced with Polycarbonate can be sterilised and will withstand temperatures up to 145oC. The material is resistant to oil, dilute acids, alcohol and it is flame retardant. Isopropyl alcohol should be avoided. Polycarbonate is used in making police riot shields, making these tumblers totally unbreakable.
