The toughening technology (rapid surface cooling), acting on the glass molecular structure, makes the Bormioli Rocco products particularly:
• Resistant to mechanical shocks (impact),
up to 2.5 times more than non-toughened glass

The XLT treatment on the surface of the stems ensures Bormioli Rocco stemware resistance to the most frequent causes of breakage (washing, twisting, etc.).

XLT protects the stem from abrasion and maintains its sturdiness over time. Laboratory tests (see explanatory chart) confirm the constant level of protection even after repeated dishwasher cycles.
