High Definition Glass is the name of our glass produced with a base of sodium and lime, which gives it unique properties:
- Resistance and strength: Laboratory tests have demonstrated a high resistance to mechanical wear. High definition glass also has outstanding resistance to water and other chemicals.
- 100% recyclable: Its chemical composition is free of pollutants such as lead and cadium, and therefore it is both environmentally friendly and recyclable.
- Brilliance: Vetrerie Riunite’s glass has a very high level of brilliance which displays a level of refraction equal to 1.51
- Transparency: Thanks to a level of iron close to zero, our glass reaches an index level equal to 92% light transmission, making it extremely transparent.
