• 0% porosity a no bacteria

• Developed to resist high temperatures (over 90°) in industrial dishwashers a limits the use of detergents, disinfectants etc.

• Suitable for use in microwave ovens / plate warmers a no migration of support materials to food

• Stackability a space-saving

• Wide range a meets all needs

Suitable for intensive professional use:

a Heat resistant (difference in temperature of 135°C = compatible with cook and chill/cook and serve)

a Complies with washing and drying protocols in industrial washing cycles

a Up to twice as light as porcelain (ergonomic)

100% OPAL, 0% Porosity, 0% Bacteria

Can be handled without burning after microwave use

Heat retention levels as high as other materials on the market, such as porcelain

Up to three times stronger than porcelain: the secret of its incredibly long service life

Excellent resistance of the surface and decoration after 2,000 industrial washes
