News 2011: VITROTEK 3G

Innovation, change, replacement, provocation is the only way to avoid being
subjected to the transformations of others.
You will be less dependent on future if you will have the present in your hand.

		2003: The continuing research for new materials, which has always characterized Elleci, reaches a new milestone: Vitrotek. An exclusive and unique material made of resin and pure glass particles. As you know, the glass has specific qualities that make it an ideal element for many uses, especially in the kitchen environment. Equally hygienic are its properties, larger particles and traditional resin. It is completely anallergic and antibacterial, resistant, hygienic, antistatic and stable in colour.
		2005: Elleci presents a Vitrotek formulation with a smoother surface and a ‘silky effect’. Reduced section of the sphere for a silky effect but still relatively rough.

2011: Elleci presents Vitrotek 3G Microspheric characterized by the use of micronized
and microsection spheres with the application of “special resin”.
The result is a completely smooth surface of the sink.

Antibacterial: Ultra-smooth surface. Non-porous, hydrophobic and lipophobic.
mpossible the establishment of bacteria.

THE NATURE OF THE GLASS: According to its composition and its thermical history,
the glass is hard at room temperature (it has hardness 7.5 on the Mohs scale),
it is non-porous, with a strong characteristic of shining, it refracts light rays in a remarkable way.
Glass is the most suitable material for manufacturing of objects destined to food industry.
It is certainly a material hygienic: non-toxic and is very resistant to time degradation.
Among the many qualities of glass there is also the total absence of toxicity.

Improved hardness of the surface maintained unchanged:
initial unchanged qualities thanks to the extremely compact surface.
The materials used by Elleci are positioned only a few points lower in the Mohs scale,
compared to some natural elements as diamond hard par excellence.

Compact: surface density optimized thanks to the microspheric section of glass.
Easy to clean: doubled flow on the surface of liquids than traditional materials. ½ water absorption:
using glass microspheres and “special resin” of hydrophobic monomer (it does not absorb water) the water absorption is improved: 40% less than the best materials present on the market today.
Consequently, is further enhanced the resistance to bleaching.
