The tempering process
Following the hot forming phase, the glassware is introduced into a tempering tunnel and
subjected to a special heat treatment involving sudden cooling (from 700°C, 1.292°F to 20°C, 68°F) by means of a compressed air jet directed over the entire body.

Resistance to thermal shock
Bormioli Rocco tempered glassware is highly resistant to thermal shock and impact.
It can withstand sudden breakage caused by temperature changes on the product surface
(ΔT of approx. 130°C, 266°F).
